Need help with FTP

[Mr Smiley]

Im trying to setup a password protected FTP server. I installed IIS but it seems it doesn't support passwards?(correct me if Im wrong) Anyway, I configured it to allow everyone, but it only works over lan and it uses my lan ip. Is there a way to configure it so everyone can have access to it? I forwarded ports 21 and 80 on my router.
I tried the serv-u program. I couldn't get anything to work. Not even on lan. I also tried filezilla server program but it didn't work either:frown:. Well anyway, thanks in advance!:thumbsup:

1. IIS uses Windows user accounts, so you'll have to set up local accounts on your machine if you want to create logins for your FTP server (you can also use domain accounts if you are connected to a domain).

2. Your ISP may have blocked port 21 specifically so you cannot setup an FTP server. Try an alternate port (say, 2121) and see if you have better results for outside users.

Ok I made a new account with a username but it wont work. Under the Security accounts what should I have selected? I have allow anonymous connects tab checked. Under Username: there is something thats like MyComputer\(the username I made). The password is greyed out. The allow only anonymous connections is unchecked. And then the Allow IIS to control password is checked. Is that good? Thanks for your help.
