server setup

[AltecXP]

can anyone tell me how to set up an ftp server from behind a router (linksys) in IIS? windows xp or 2000?

You'd have to tell the router to forward the correct ports that IIS uses for FTP out to the internet.

FTP uses Port 21 by default.

1). 192.168.1.1 inyour browser
2). admin/admin
3). advanced tab
4). forwarding
5). servive port range = 21~21
6.) ip address =192.168.1.xxx where x=your last numbers of your LAN IP
7). apply.......then continue...and that should do it....

You should also change your username and password in the router:D

Quite the contrary, actually. I like IIS 'cause it's easy as can be!

What do you need to know about it, AltecXP? I thought all you needed to do was set up ports so it could access the internet?
