RT314 Port Forwarding, Setting up FTP Server

[her209]

I need help setting up a FTP server behind my router.

The FTP server is at IP address...
192.168.0.2

In the RT314 Advanced menu options, I set the Port forwarding options to Port 21, and IP address 192.168.0.1. The router is IP address 192.169.0.1. Tried logging in through Command Prompt. Work when command is "ftp 192.168.0.2" however does not work when I try "ftp XXX.XXX.204.57". Anyone know if router needs a reboot?

If you want the ftp server to be available to outside users you also have to disable the ftp filter in menu 21. And the reason it doesnt work for you when you try your public ip is because the router doesnt have a loopback feature, so it tries to ftp into the router.

how would one get to menu 21?

Telnet into the router. Goto a command prompt and type telnet <ip> (usually 192.168.0.1)

Enter your Password

Type 21.

Goto filter set #3

Set the filter that blocks port 21 to Active=No.
