jaffa Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Ok people. I decided to start using ftp to transfer files to some of my friends cuz msn messenger doesn't do the job properly :p First of all i'm a client behind a network. I'm going to explain how this network looks like etc etc I got DSL 1536/256. So my max upload should be 32kb/s but i cap it @ 15kb/s. network looks like this: ---> internet ---> modem (alcatel speedthouch) ---> PC1 (aka Server) ---> 5 poort HUB ---> Client pc's PC1.. the server is running windows xp. My pc atm is running windows 2k.. but in about 2 weeks when i get my motherboard back it's gonna be xp. To share the internet i just use Windows Internet sharing (ICS/ISS or sometin like that).. I like to keep things simple ;) The server-pc ip = 192.168.0.1 and my pc is 192.168.0.10 .. our ip is 66.66.66.66 (not for real :shifty: ) I want to run Bulletproof FTP on my pc . I also want to use port 2121 for ftp. Can someone explain to me how i can do this in a few steps? I can't figure it out. I know i need to forward those ports to my ip (192.168.0.10) but i don't know how/who etc. And what options i have to disable on the server-pc (like the ftp service windows xp has or so). Oh yeah i dont have a firewall atm so that should not be a problem :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 To forward the ports from the server to your machine within the network you can either enable the Windows Firewall and set up the ports there or use something like SpoonProxy. http://www.pi-soft.com/spoonproxy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MxxCon Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 your router/ICS you need to forward 2 sets of ports. control connection port: often port 21..or whatever port people use to connect to your site data connection port range: this port range is used for actual ftp listing and file transfers. it can be any range 1-65535, obviously it mustn't be a port already in use, and it's best to use range above 1024. say 10000-11000 is a good number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
