..now we got a router....and BPFTP sees my IP has the one my router's DHCP handsout (192.168.etc)

how do i get BPFTP to work or what do i need to do? or ....what??


thanks :)

FORWARDING
Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network.
When users from the Internet make certain requests on your router, they
will be redirected to the specified IP. (192.168.?.?)

If you are going to use port 21 (FTP)
In the router pass 20 and 21 to your 192.168.?.?
In BPFTP select port 21.

Also allow 20 and 21 in your firewall.

Somtimes routers can be a major pain.

Good luck.

You need to setup your router to work with BPFTP. You have to provide some additional details if you need more help.

What kind of router is it?
What OS are u running?

You can contact me on MSN at sundaram316@msn.com if you need additional help

ok
i thought it was working

it was when i was testing it..but not when my friend was trying to send me stuff.


ok
66.68.208.xxx is the IP
and then internally
its 192.168.1.100 (for my computer) and so on

the server is on port 6796


I did the forwarding thing...but my friend can't connect
and i said to toggle passive mode....na no worky

Try this!

Dont use an IP thru DHCP. Rather setup your network connection to use a static internal IP - 192.168.1.xx (2-99). Configure your tcp/ip settings in network connection to use this static IP. The setup port forwarding to the internal IP. That should do the trick!

And I see that you have a Linksys router. I have the exact setup and I always had a problem when I setup my FTP server using a DHCP allocated IP address. I setup a static IP for my computer and it worked like a charm!!!

the reason for the router was for DHCP

multiple laptops are in the house now...
and they have to connect to other networks and stuff..

so we went for the router ..so eveyrone just plgus in and thats it.

I have 4 computers at home all connecting to the internet using the Linksys router. All of them have static IP's and they have no problems connecting to the internet nor does anyone have any problems connecting to them!

i mean the other laptops settings cant be changed;
just plug in and go.

so confusing


so..w/ that ...all the other comptuers can still use the DHCP of the router?
right?



ok..i think i got it.
now my friend just needs to get back online to test it....

thanks for the link :)

ok

still didnt work.

I haven't used G6 for a long time, but last I checked it didn't support PASV mode if you run it on any other port but 21.
Does your friend get any connection established at all?

have you set the DMZ host? Put the IP of the computer you want your friend to connect to in the DMZ host, but give your friend the IP the cable modem/ router is assigned by your ISP, I use this router and I use this method to do ftp and host games I have never had any problem. If you use the DMZ settings then you will not have to assign IP to your computers or port forwarding let your router do the work

I have a Linksys and have been all through this same excercise. I traditionally simply forwarded Ports 21 and 20. Usually no problems, but sometimes people had trouble connecting. Recently I wanted to serve to some BetaOne members, so to assure easy connection I set DMZ. BUT, started getting adds on the screen from scanners.

So, going back to port forwarding and use a unique port number--not 21.

I read an faq once that said if you do this you should also open a series of ports in some high range not used by other internet services. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Dup post, sorry

I found my problem. I have an ftp behind a router and couldn't seem to get it to work despite the forwarding of ports. What I missed was a menu in the ftp server program where you put the range of ports for PASV to use. I had forwarded a range of ports in the router, but failed to put them in that slot, which somehow I had never found in Serve-U. I discovered my error, by playing around with Bulletproof and Titan Ftp Server programs. Serve-U seems less intuitive to me, but I prefer it.
