My new router came so I hooked it up. I like this interface better than my old Belkin router. I don't know what I was thinking with port 80. That's only for http. I only need to make sure port 21 is open, which I did, and FTP works over the net. Later I'm going to try changing the port again...

I had to change it back. I opened port 21, and set filezilla server to use port 21. Also forwarded port 80 to 8080. Now she can sign in and see and grab the files. Why won't it work on port 59595?

I'm trying to get this to work over the internet. My girlfriend is trying to log in. I set the port to 59595. It prompts her for a username and password, but when she puts it in, she doesn't see the files i'm sharing, it says unavailable. Trying to log in with a browser, not an ftp client.

All right, I downloaded Portforward Network Utilities to find out which ports are open or not. Port 21 is not open, but I opened it in my router and then the test came back that it's open. But I changed that and decided to use port 59595. I used port forwarding in my router and tested it with...

I'm gonna work on it and see if Windows Firewall is to blame. I'll report back with more detailed info later.

I did, still nothing. Doesn't work unless I use port 21.

I changed my server on Filezilla Server to listen to port 59595. In my router settings, I forwarded port 21 to 59595. When I try to access my ftp site from a web browser, it can't connect. I also tried just to open port 59595 in my router settings, and nothing. Then I set up a Windows firewall...

But what if I'm trying to access the ftp server from the web, via a browser? I can only access it if my FTP Server is port 21, and I forward port 80 to 8080.

When I try to change the port from 21 to 55000 or 59595, I can't access FTP anymore, even if I forward port 21 to 59595, and use 59595 in Filezilla server. I have also opened the port in windows firewall.

What if I forward 80 to a port that's not open? I couldn't find any open ports. I had to open port 21. But... I can't seem to forward and open a port at the same time. If I use the private port on two different lines It gives me an overlap error. I did get the FTP to work by selecting another...

Sounds like a snapshot and happens periodically. Sometimes when I click a link on a webpage I can hear it. It's weird. I got the Belkin USB adapter today. I like it so far, but don't have the Belkin AC1750 router to try it out yet. Just using my older n750.

I'm trying to set up an FTP Server so friends can access/download files through the internet. I downloaded Fillezilla Server and created a user and shared directory. I can access the server from every computer on my network and log in using the username and password. But it doesn't seem to work...

If I don't like the router or adapter, Amazon has a good return policy at least, so I will definitely make sure it's good enough for me before I keep it. Off topic, but do you know why my Seagate NAS makes a snapshot sound periodically? The NAS is totally quiet, but then say I'm streaming from...

Well, I've been using their n750 for a few years with few problems. Hopefully the stick isn't total crap. We shall see. I also just purchased the Belkin AC1750 with 2 USB (3.0, 2.0), gigabit, for $69.99. I decided to spend $70 instead of $150-$200 for the Nighthawk or $115 for the Archer C8 (or...
