I dont have administrative access to the other cpu so that is why I need to configure this one that im on.

The router can be accessed from either PC, but the it has only 1 set of settings so it doesn't matter on which PC you configure the router, the other PC will have the same settings.

ok take in mind im retarded when it comes to this. I've got coffeecup ftp and i wanna download isos like megaman and such. The problem is I can't figure out how to log on to Emuparadise with the ftp to be able to download the isos. Like the address and stuff... Can anybody inform me on what I need to do? be much appreciated.:grazy:

Just click the link. Or right click and select "copy shortcut" open up your ftp app and it will say "ftp url detected, open?" and select yes.

I have been able to connect to ftp's in the past but lately, I haven't been able to access that last few that I have tried. I am behind a linksys and using smart ftp. I tried putting the IP of a the computer trying to access the FTP's in the DMZ thing but that didn't change anything. It's annoying that I haven't been able to access any FTP's lately since I have been able to in the past. There is one ftp I have been able to access lately. But a few that I haven't.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Settings to try and such.

EDIT: BTW, the message I am getting from the ftp I am trying to connect to right now is "connection timeout. no response from server." Does that tell which end the problem is at? I hope this helps.

EDIT again: I've tried accessing another FTP with the same results as I listed above. I am thinking there is something screwy at my end not letting me into most FTPs. It makes me wonder what is different about the FTP that I get into with no problem but I think that one might just be special. In addition to trying the DMZ thing, I have also tried both active and passive modes in smart FTP. It hasn't made any difference either. I am not sure what I need to try next. Maybe some port forwarding? I know I had to do that to get Emule to work right. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. Five votes go to people that offer advice that fixes my problem.

right, I have a router (not important what model) and a home network (my pc gets the internal ip 192.168.1.247). I have tryed to get virtual server to foward requests for port 21 tcp and udp to my pc using its ip address.
Buuut, when I host an FTP using BPFTP server, I can only connect to it from local machines and nobody can get it over the WAN(internet) do I need more than just port 21?

at the moment the user/password bullsh*t doesnt matter, I can deal with that. and even if someone from outside tryed connecting with the wrong password, then the server would show it in the log. But I dont get any connection yet.

Help ... please!

edit: Im using win2k (so no internal crappy firewall software) and I havnt got and software firewall installed.

edit 2!: oops I forgot to mention, I do know my WAN ip adress! and that IS the one I have been testing without sucess.

Hey, I found out what the problem was with one of the FTPs I was trying to access. So my post earlier in this thread can be ignored.

Okay if you goto www.whatismyip.com do you get the same ip as what you think your ip is?

yes, yes I do.

My router tells a lie not.
any suggestions I havnt covered in my previous post?

See what happens when someone tries to ping you. If they can successfully ping you it's the BFTP's fault and change the port settings there. Otherwise it could either be the router or the virtual server.

I've gotten my FTP to work around my router before by triggering ports 1024-***** with my FTP port. I can't seem to remember what the second number is, and I think it's killing the PASV connection to my server.

Any help?

how do i put files into my FTP server

You want other people to be able to, or you yourself.

To let other people make an acccount with upload capabilities.
Otherwise just stick the stuff yourself in the root ftp directory (check the options of your ftpD).

is anyone willing to test my ftp to see if it works ?

info:
213.118.140.239
username: Jake
Passw: 15925835
port 2000

yea ur ftp works. someone try out mine:

port:21
login:ZeroshadowX
passw:9999
IP:24.125.55.11

srry can't seem to get connected:
Resolving host name 24.125.55.11...
Connecting to (24.125.55.11) -> IP: 24.125.55.11 PORT: 21
Een verbindingspoging is mislukt omdat de verbonden party niet correct heeft geantwoord na een bepaalde tijd, of de gemaakte verbinding is mislukt omdat de verbonden host niet heeft geantwoord.
Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...
Continue to login attempt 2...
Connecting to (24.125.55.11) -> IP: 24.125.55.11 PORT: 21

translation of the dutch line:
the connectionattempt failed because the corresponded party didn't awnser correctly after a sertain amount of time or the connection failes because te corresponded party didn't awnser

well thats it in the big lines

I can connect to the server with an FTP client but the people I have asked to attempt to connect to it are unable to. I am using a D-Link router, I have Virtual Server FTP turned on (which works the same way as port forwarding), and I even tried leaving this system in the DMZ of the router. Suggestions?

Ok, I have the exact same problem.

---

Ok, My IP is in *.*.*.* format.

GuildFTP lists your own IP, and it says that mine is 192.167.0.2

whatsmyipadress (something like that) says its 141.*.*.*

If I try and connect to the 192 in my network, it works fine.

If I try and connect to the 141 in my network, it looks okay, but I see no files or folders.

From reports: If anyone else tries to connect to the 192, it doesn't work.

If anyone else tries to connect to the 141, they get the same problem.

Can I have a little help on this?

=EDIT= I tested on two different computers, but both were on the same network.

=DOUBLE EDIT= I think the problem is that my computer has one IP, but GuildFTP thinks that the IP is another, so it hosts on that IP, but only I can access it.

Oh yeah, magus fixed his problem.

192.* is an internal network ip. It'll only work for other computers on the network.

The one you want is the whatismyip.com address. Go and configure GuildFTPd to use it. You'll have to ask Magus for the specifics on what he had to do.

ok thanks I'll om him

I don't know if there is a FAQ on EP about this , but I want to setup a FTP server(the last time I did that was 2 years ago so I kinda forgot how I did it) I still know that I used Serv-U and I was wondering if someone can explain how I must set it up with that program again.

thnx in advance

Try GuildFTPd, it works really well.

In the help file, it tells you how to set GuildFTPd up.

Added something about internal IP addresses to the first page of this topic.

it already worked out with serv-u :D
now the tradings can begin :P

Im using bulletproof FTP server, my FTP was working up until 5 minutes ago, when i try and make it go online i get the following message:

20/01/2004 21:42:19 SERVER: Unable to start server, port 21 may already be in use.

i tried changing the port to like... 22 and 23, and some others but since i know nothing about PC's really, that was just guess work, and it didnt work... anyone help?

I am clueless about port opening and all that junk. All i know is, I want an ftp, I have an ftp set up (bulletproof), I "think" I know how to operate bullet, I have multiple accounts set up. I have a d-link rounter. No software included except printer routing software. I have a modemn. If i connect my modemn to my comp, direct, my ftp worx. If i connect through router, it doesn't, but if i try it on my other computer that is connected to the router too, it worx. But no1 outside can reach. I forget my ip, lol. Is there a site that I can find it? Ip monster is expired. And the final question, how do I open ports or w/e i need to do, to make my ftp work, with the router? Thank you

Google question ><.

Answer #1: www.whatismyip.com
Answer #2: http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.as...n=port+forward

I did what they said in the faq, i tried to open port 69 and I did, and then I reset and it still doesnt' work. Do i have to restart my comp?

Can someone explain to me what ftp is please?

It is a file transfer thing.

What's the difference between client and server FTP's? thnx!

Clients connect to a server to download stuff. The client then sends commands to the server and the server responds.

FTP = file transfer protocol, if you really want to know what it is then advice you read http://www.geektools.com/rfc/rfc959.txt but that's quite technical though.

I've been having problems downloading the psx isos. IE doesn't work and neither does SmartFTP. Is it a problem with the links? I see the address as something like ftp://206.152.242.121/%20%20%20%20%2...blahblah/file. I tried connecting to every possible combination of the address (cutting off at each /) and none worked.

STATUS:> Getting listing "/"...
STATUS:> Connecting to ftp server 206.152.242.121:21 (ip = 206.152.242.121)...
ERROR:> Can't connect to remote server. Socket error = #10060.
STATUS:> Waiting 30 seconds...

I also tried pinging that address, but it times-out, so no it's not you it's the FTP server.

Ok, are server FTP programs better than cilent FTP programs? Whats the difference? I heard that I have to leave my computer on to keep the servers going, is this true?
