    Yes.
    When I turn-off the firewall I can access it.

    What firewall are you running?

    Opening a port for FTP access to your server can cause you problems.

    We did this 5 years ago and since FTP is "clear text" it was easily hacked. Then we started finding gig's of space being eaten up by dvd movies moving from the US to Germany!

    They even messed with some bit in the directory structure they created so that the folder could not be deleted - what a nightmare.

    Be careful - if you can only allow "known" ip addresses through that port in the firewall. I'm not a firewall expert - so don't take my suggestion as being the most secure!

    If you are using Linux, have you tried SSH? It's probably more secure (I think it's also known as SFTP - Secure FTP)

    EDIT: Ignore what I said, I realised you're running Win2003.

    Ok, thanks.
    I think what I need now is a secured FTP site w/ Authentication.

    How to do it?

    Did you try going to the properties of the folder you are sharing and set the appropriate permission/settings?

    FTP cannot really be secure - as the username/password are passed around the internet in clear text.

    SFTP is the secure version of FTP.

    You can configure FTP via the Internet Manager console (MMC).

    To install it go to the Windows Components in the Add/Remove Software applette in the CP.

    FTP is on port 21 which may need to be forwarded on your router to your server's ip. Also, allow the exception in the firewall for it.

    Re: [Win 2003] Allow FTP in Firewall

    How about an FTP with port 22?
    FTP site in port 21 is open but it is read-only.
    FTP site in port 22 is both read and write?

    FTP in port 22 only accept our public IP.
