I have set up a NAS which has a ftp feature.

I can acess it locally on my LAN

I need to access it via the web.

Forward Port 21 on your firewall to your LAN IP.  Access your FTP by typing in FTP://publicIPAddress/share

Is that udp or tcp ?  Have I to do both?

ok I have done like so

ftp   external port     internel port      protocal          ip                  enabled
               80                  21                  21            192.168.1.77        [x]

then I get the usual error:
Windows cannot access the folder ....... make sure you have permission ... and the file name exists.

Is there a cmd line way to check this?

Sorry I typed that wrong - its like so:

ftp   external port     internel port      protocal          ip                     enabled
                     21                  21               tcp            192.168.1.77         [x]
 
You orignal question says the ip of the NAS FTP is 192.168.1.66 so forward to that not 192.168.1.77 otherwise it looks fine.
