FTP Noob

[sheemone00]

I just set up a FTP server on Win2K using IIS.

Made couple user accounts so that only certain people can have access.
Disabled Anonymous Users.

I can browse the FTP perfectly fine from my laptop (FTP is on my desktop).

Now to make this FTP accessible to my friends, do I have to forward the port (21 I believe) from the router?

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Yep, that's exactly what you need to do.

Be aware that FTP is unsecure (sends username and passwords as plaintext which can be easily sniffed).
