you need to configure the router to route port 21 to the machne that is running the ftp server<br />
ie 192.168.0.5<br />
most routers have an <a href="http" rel="ugc">http</a>: interface, and you log into that, and depending on the router, one of the configuration pages allows you to do this. It helps if yu are using static ip's for your lan

I have a d-link, and the configuration page is from the advanced tab, and it is called virtual server, and this is where I forward the port (21) to my xp box (192.168.0.2)

This router is on the wall and is served by Nuvox communications...maybe it would be smart to call them and ask how..but yes, we are set up with DHCP which is screwing everything up for us anyway.<br />

I am on a DSL network that has a public IP and then in turn routes local ip's to the office computers. &nbsp;ie...192.168.0.5. &nbsp;I want to access files my work computer from home by using Bulletproof ftp server. &nbsp;How I do set up the router so that it will direct incoming ftp requests to my computer? &nbsp;Please speak in baby talk because I am only good enough with networks to be dangerous.<br />

Setting up FTP from WAN IP to local IP

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

DHCP

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
