I would like to try to help. I saw your post in the other thread.
As I understand it you have a server running and you can see people trying to connect but they can't.
Can you take it from there a little more in detail, also tell us if your router is in place or not.

Yes Lineman, please provide a little more info and we are glad to help :)

i.e.-what OS, router/firewall, bandwith, etc. :)

Yea more than likly you need to forword the port that you are using for your ftp server. Normaly this is port 21.

If you have a firewall will also have to open port 21 for the ftp server.

BTW I use Serv-U FTP Server and BPFTP Server.

@Lineman69...."unicorn" I do think is the one that got me in the correct direction when I was having problems........but the others are very good as well. I use GuildFtp, router, winxp pro, and zonealarm. All of these have a to be set correct for it to work.

What I forgot was to tell the ftp program which ports I was using. Give more info and what errors are encountered.

Thanks

lineman69 got this all sorted out. I also offered to help by means of pm. By that time the ftp was running :) Good job lineman.

Nicely done!! ;)
