Trouble setting up ftp

[ceLLriOT]

If anyone has some free time and would like access to an mp3/music video server, and knows how to set up an ftp on a hub linked to a cable modem with bpftp server (I got the program working, just dont know if you can access the server from outside of my lan) message me at ICQ: 1928022, AIM: cellriot, MSN: sean_brown@softhome.net... Thanks

Setting a server.

If the server is used for Internal LAN, or and the server is connected directly to the Internet (No Router, and No Firewall) there is nothing else to set.

In case of a Router and Firewall, the correct ports have to be opened.

The following page was written specifically for a Linksys Routers.

With a little imagination it can be transposed to establish similar settings in any Router.

I want people to find me on the Interent!

Since most of home users sit on the Internet with Dynamic IP, there is a problem to find them from the ?Out Side World?.

Come in the saviors in the form of DNS Services. You register yourself with a DNS Service (some are free for personal use). They provide you with a Static address (or you can buy a TLD i.e. iamabigguy.com) and a little program that transmits to their server your current dynamic IP, while they show to the World your static address..

You can find detailed instructions for setting up DNS service here: DNS - Domain Name System.
