Would someone who knows about FTP serving (from behind a router) mind helping me set one up?

[CichliSuite]

I downloaded WarFTP, g6 ftp, and BulletProofFTp. With each, I am able to have my friend connect, but it simply won't show him the directory.

I have forwarded the appropriate port, have forwarded an arbitrary port to use and even that doesn't work....

Would anyone mind walking me through it on AIM?

Thanks guys

Is he using passive mode? There is a setting in ftp clients that you can adjust.

 

[CichliSuite]

yeah, what is passive mode?

Just enable the port you are using to serve on and enable the port before that (Example serving on port 400 open 400 and 399) it should be as simple as that 🙂

Not sure of the exact reason, but it needs to be enabled.
