Im trying to set up an FTP server, which I've done. My problem is I can't access it because I have no idea how to map the external IP to the internal IP of my pc as I am setting it up through a router. Any ideas? I am using an extremely naff Origo ASR-8400 router. Need to upgrade it at some stage....

The error is '530 Login Failed'.

Ive set up port forwarding of port 21, tcp and udp. Trying to connect using FTP voyager and it says password not accepted. I know the password is correct cos i set it up myself. Any ideas?
 
Ok, I have set the exception within Windows Firewall. I am using "serv-u" to configure the FTP server. Windows built in options seemed a bit limited. Anyway, my friend can now see the files on the server, but cannot download them. There shouldn't be a file size limit should there?

This is the error message in the "serv-u" activity reports:

[3] Mon 01May06 15:30:07 - (000046) Error sending file c:\ftp\blah..., aborting (0 Bytes/sec - 0 Bytes, command connection closed)
[5] Mon 01May06 15:30:07 - (000046) Connection timed out

Also, she cannot access it all the time - sometimes the browser just shows the torch "searching" the directory.
 
I tried connecting through net2ftp. The first time, I couldn't connect, then tried again and it connected perfectly, and now I can't connect again... I have no idea what the problem is.
 
I tried forwarding those ports. Still doesn't work - could it be a different range depending on the router? Im starting to think a new router is in order. I also have a problem with MSN messenger constantly signing in and out, and I know it's not the PC as it does it with my laptop as well. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Tried updating the router's firmware to no avail.
