<<<<<<HELP SETTING UP FTP

[DannyLove]

ALright, here is the problem. I have searched many many places and many suggestions here have helped, but I am stuck once more.

I have a Cayman 3220-H router, and a dynamic DSL connection.

I have a question regarding how the FTP setup should be. I have the DHCP settings on obviously, and this is how its setup:

Local Address: 192.168.0.1
Net Mask: 255.255.255.0

start address: 192.168.01
end address: 192.168.0.254

now, I have realized that if I wish to set up an ftp, I have to forward the ports 21, this is how i did it:
Protocol: TCP : Ex Port Start 20 : Ex Port End 21 : Internal IP address (this is what confuses me) I have set the ip # to the ip that my comp is always under when I turn it on, and that is 192.168.0.2 : Int Port 20

so what exactly does this do? If this forwards the ports allowing others to have access to my ftp, what ip # should i give them in order to log in? When i go to winconfig I only see all these #'s 192.xx.xxx.xxx, etc etc, since I have it on DHCP.

so for example, when I go to Serve-U, what ip do i set it too, this is what is confusing the crap out of me. someone, please, give me a leed, I am retarded when it comes down to networking.

I can help you with this setup no problem. I'm at work right now and will be home at 9:00pst.

We can set it up together if you want threw icq or msn relay chat if you want

 

[tjll11a]

Ok here is how mine is setup.


I have the same router so here we go

The cayme is setup as 192.168.1.254

And computer 1 is 192.168.1.1
And computer 2 is 192.168.1.2

Computer 2 is where my ftp is....
My ftp is setup under port 21

I went into the caymen router and setup pinholes as this

FTPdown, 21, 21, 192.168.1.2, 21

FTPup, 20, 20, 192.168.1.2, 20

think thats how it is from memory
2 different pinholes

 

[tjll11a]

Do you know how to use mirc we can talk in a channel

 

[tjll11a]

Woops and there all set to tcp

 

[DannyLove]

i have icq, # is 53911374

irc is giving me problems at the moment

ICQ ME!

danny~!

 

[tjll11a]

For example on my ftp which i use G6 ftpserver, the ip is set to 192.168.1.2

 

[DannyLove]

okay, im in IRC, in efnet, under #dannylove

 

[tjll11a]

Danny i'm at work right now and they have a proxy server that doesn't allow any type of instant messaging programs to work... I will be home in 4.5 more hours

 

[tjll11a]

I can only you explorer

 

[tjll11a]

we can talk here if you want

 

[DannyLove]

alright, I did what you told me and it works, but........ i have a question. For example, what is the IP address that will log into my comp? my Internal Ip is 192.168.0.2, this cant be it, can it? I logged in with it, and it works, but thats because im on the comp. I dont understand which ip i should be using

danny~!

 

[tjll11a]

go into the router and goto moniter i thing and there should be an option called interfaces.

When you hit that some info should pop up

and the inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

that inet is your actuall ip address to the outside world

 

[DannyLove]

i knew it!!!!!!!!!, sweet, i got it now, thanks yo!

danny~!

 

[tjll11a]

woops sorry about spelling

the interface option should be the one in the middle


that inet address is actually what you would give someone to login

 

[tjll11a]

cool....

You'll have to private messag me.


What type of stuff do you have on your ftp?????

 

[DannyLove]

ummmm, its not connecting.

danny~! i need a better FTP prog, which do you recommend, G6?

 

[tjll11a]

All ftp software connect the same if serv-u doesn't work g6 won't work.


I like G6 a lot better just because it has a lot of various options and good logging..

What are you getting now an error meg. or what?????

 

[DannyLove]

well i did everything in what you told me, i looked up the IP, and its 64.166.124.xxx, but i cant connect, it doesnt even recognize it at all

danny~!

 

[tjll11a]

1 sec, can you logon if you use 192.169.xxx.xxx locally

 

[tjll11a]

Wish i was home to test, but i meant 192.168.xxx.xxx

 

[DannyLove]

let me see...

danny~!

 

[DannyLove]

i think im just setting up the program wrong. I havent really done this before, so im clicking like an idiot

danny~! i did connect locally once, but it said my login was wrong, like i said, i know im doing this wrong

 

[tjll11a]

ok, when you look in the white are what ip's are listed.

Close serv-u then run it again

 

[tjll11a]

should only see 1 i think 192.168.0.2
