Problem FTP Server

[szms]

I am try to do ftp://hostname it does not work and it gives me the error that I attaced as a JPEG format.

It works when I use ftp://xxx.xxx.x.xxx, IP address I mean. So how I can use the hostname for using ftp insted of using the IP address.

I would like to put username and pasword so that only selected people can download from my ftp server. How to do that?

Do you have a local DNS server or is the hostname of your server set in the hosts file on you machine? It appears that the IP address of the server is being resolved with commas instead of dots

I got a dynamic dns from www.dyndns.org and then refer the IP address of the ISP. I configure the IP address of my local computer through a router.

didn't they give you a url for your site? just append :21 to the address to get the ftp port. there is probably settings on the ftp server to allow users. You'd want to turn off anonymous access, as well.
