Be very careful!
We put an FTP service on our server - exposed to the internet - and before you know it we are be used for illegal transfer of DVD movies from the US to Germany!
Silly we didn't put a username and password on it...
But the username and password for an FTP site is transmitted clear text of the internet - so it's far from secure...
goes to show that security pays off :D
well you could try some software....BulletProof FTP is worked for me and is by far the most secure let you manage is well like ip access or username/password :thumb:
well behind a network is a little different.. when you have an IP like 192.168.1.33 that IP could also be registered to someone else...
I have read that i should use "PASV" but when ever i try to connect i always get an error from my ftp client sayin "pasv" command not understood...... blah blah blah, then it closes the connection. :( I have also tried routing specific ports to my computer.)
You will have to forward ports 20, 21 to that IP address on your external firewall.
This is what i get when i try to connect to my ftp server:
I routed ports 20-21 and 2000-21000 (for PASV transfer).Code:*** CuteFTP 7.0 - build Mar 10 2005 ***

I dont understand. Does it work or not? If not, do not use PASV mode and see if that works. PASV mode introduces more problems to deal with.
No it is not working, it works only if i connect with IP 127.0.0.1. I have tried it with PORT and PASV but nothing worked :(
You may also need to open a firewall on either the router or server machine :)
i don't have a firewall on my router..
i will try opening port 21 & 2000 -> 2200 (pasv) on my computers firewall. :lol:
