OK, here's the deal

I've been dying to get an FTP server up and running - but I don't have a clue how to do it.

I know I don't have a static Ip address, and therefore, I have to use Dynamic DNS.

Right?

I set up a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.dyndns.org and downloaded serv-u.

Right thing to do?

I have a belkin F5D8230-4 router

What do i do??

how do i set it up?????

and wait.


and wait.


lol

I don't use Serv-U, but that setup should be pretty easy. The missing piece is a port forward of port 21 through the router to the machine on your local network that's running the FTP server.

Ok i'm stuck

It works, but now when i type in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.dyndns.org it takes me 2 my router setup home

I don't want it 2 take me home, I want it 2 take me to my c:\!!!!!!!!!!!

Turn off remote administration in your router, since you sure don't want that running anyway, that's a huge security hole! BTW, you're obviously using IE to do this, and so it's defaulting to port 80. Try using a real FTP client.

Remote Administration is turned off, but I think It's cos I tried accessing my PC from the same computer?

I'm using firefox.

I haven't changed anything In Serv-U Cos I don;t know what to do!

Well, to test remote FTP, you have to connect from the other side of your router, in other words, someplace else.

I keep a dial-up account for those cases, just to have a means to test remote server applications.
