problems making ftp server

Ive got a little network goin at my place and made an ftp server to share
some stuff but I cannot connect to it on a remote pc. Ive got my internet
line goin into my adsl then a switch then 3 computers. My modem acts as a
router but really *&#$ one and im not sure what is stopping me. Yes some
will say a firewall but no I have taken it off and still didnt work. Every
time I connect with my modem its a different ip, I checked it put the right
one to connect but still no progress. Im using Bulletproof ftp server and
ftp explorer as client. Wanna help email me

you have to forward your dataports and control port to your local pc on your
router

so if u have your ftp on port 21 (control port) and you use 20000 & 20001 as
dataports then you will have to forward those 3 ports TCP to your local IP
which will probably be something like 192.168.*.*. <= on your router....

i suggest you start reading some of the guides out there before u start
posting ;p

have fun....

FTP servers are tricky to setup behind a rounter. You need at least 2
ports open for an FTP server, one for the control connection, and one
or more for the data connection. For example, my control port is X, my
data conection range is from 3000 to 3999. You can read a complete
description about it here:

By the way, this group is about web servers, not FTP or other servers.
I don't think anyone minds in particular, but you may not get much
response here.

It may not be all about ftp but I do appreciate any help. I used ftp
explorer from my same machine to connect but only get this far. I tried
different and even no user name or password but still no working. This is
probably not good because server and client are local for this test

From client side
Connecting to: jay
Connection Established
220 FTP Server Ready

>From what I read there you are trying to connect as a user that does
not exist.
You have probably configured your FTP client wrong.
You simply need to log in as the user that you have created for
yourself ("Jay" I would assume) and it should work.
