How To Install A Ftp Server?

[Robertbeer]

Hi,

I just started with a software called Serv-U and i wanted to put an fTP in my computer but still i can't make it.

I have a dynamic ip address but when i put in the server the port:21 the server says that this port is alredy used, on port 22 it works but i can't access the ftp from internet.

I need a hand please!

Thanks
Robert

I don't really see what can be wrong actually, but it's normal that with the port 22 it doesn't work since the is not the port used by the protocol access an FTP.

I use Filezilla, it's quite easy to use ! And you can download it for free

Yeah Sacha, but he wants to set up a FTP Server, so other can access it...

I would recommend you BulletProof.FTP.Server, i have sometimes used this Programm to set up FTP and i had no problems with it

you're probably behind a router, so you'll need to forward your internal ip address to the ports you want to use and also allow Serv-U in your windows XP firewall.

Oh you're right man, I did not understand it that way

thanks for the tips.

I called the ISP support and they told me that all those ports are blocked from firewall.

I'll see the link Mike gave me and i'll try make it works.
I already added SErv-U to the windows firewall in order to allow this program run.

if port 21 is blocked by your ISP, you use a higher port. I've used port 2121 for years.
