The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Using an Airport Extreme Base Station at home, Setup FTP to browse files at work using a Windows machine.

Asked by tinosalinas in Networking Hardware for Macintosh, Mac Airport Wireless Access Point, FTP Servers

Tags: Airport Extreme Base Station, AEBS, FTP

Hello Experts,

I've setup my AEBS at home for FTP. It works at home on my local network (I can use Cyberduck and Firefox to see my FTP site). I'm at work now and can't connect to the FTP site.

My local setup is: Hercules Modem Routeur WiFi ADSL2/2+ (HWGADSL2P-54V2) with WiFi turned off - connected to the AEBS which is brodcasting the WiFi signal to my iMac, MacBook and Windows XP desktop. In the Airport Admin Utility I've set the internet connection sharing drop down box to: "Share a public IP address" and reserved the AEBS IP address within the Hercules Modem Router setup screens. I've also forwarded the ports within the Airport Admin Utility. Again, I can use Cyberduck and Firefox to see my FTP site at home on my local network.

At work I'm using Internet Explorer 7 on a Windows Vista machine. I've tried accessing my FTP site in both Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Explorer. In Internet Explorer 7, I've ensured that "Enable FTP Folder View (outside of Internet Explorer)" and "Use Passive FTP (For Firewall and DSL compatability)" are checked in "Tools|Internet Options|Advanced|Browsing."

The problems I've encountered are: Internet Explorer 7 returns a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message and Windows Explorer returns a FTP Folder Error message stating, "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: A connection with the server could not be established."

How can I connect to my FTP site from work?

Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,
Tino Salinas
