Trying to Setup FTP server

djfattony2000 · 2007-03-20 14:58:53

Hi lads, Im trying to set up an FTP server. I'm using Faststream IQ FTP server. I have followed the instructions which included setting up a dynamic dns name. But I cant access the ftp site through my own browser. I have a Belkin router, and I have BB through BT. Any quick fix ideas on how to get this setup?

I think you may need to open a port for FTP. Port 21 is the default. You'll need to set this up in your router's configuration otherwise the connection will be blocked.

You'll need to open 20 and 21. Each port is used for different parts of the protocol.
