bman3022 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Well first im not sure where to post this i hope this is the right spot.Anyways My Bro just bought a Tritton network attached storage(T-NAS) which is basicly a storage thing that you can make in to a server.Anyways the problem im having is that it says to set up the ftp i need to setup my routers "virtual server" so that it can route to the ftp request or something like that.My question is how do i do that? I have a linksys router. Does any body now how to set it up? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 You need to forward port 21 to the ip of the T-NAS. You should give the T-NAS a static IP instead of DHCP assigned, so it doesn't by chance get a different IP sometime down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyDeNCiTy Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I'm hav ing some trouble with mine too... I forwarded my router to the IP in my machine... But the things is t hat I can't get in from outside, I can view the files that I have on the FTP locally. My problem is that I think my IP address changes ever so often... ANyone know how to fix this? or do I have to pay for a static IP? Or is there a way that I can pay for someone to give me a Domain name for my FTP server??

Justice Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Bman, which linksys router do you have?Hydencity, You might be able to do it if your router supports DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service. You could buy a domain name and register it with a dynamic dns service. When your IP changes, DDNS updates as well, keeping you connected to your domain name.

HyDeNCiTy Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Do u know where I can get a simple domain name that can do the Dynamic DNS?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 http://www.dyndns.org/OR... for just $7.77 a month, you could get this webhost, and just upload your files to your ftp site with them. 1GB of spage, with 5GB daily transfer rate.[Edit] Nevermind the webhosting. DynDNS service is free. and nevermind the router support, you install a client program on the ftp machine, and it detects when your ip changes and sends the change info to DynDNS.org [/Edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
