I'm trying to connect to my friends computer who's not in my network. He has an FTP server set up. I know his ip address and username and password to access it but I'm not sure what to put for the FTP address part. do i just enter the ip address in there cuz it doesn't seem to be working.

Has anyone else been able to connect to the FTP? He may not it set up right or it could be a port not open issue.

^^ I'd agree with this. Try to telnet to the IP address on port 21.

Example. At the command prompt

C:\>telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 21

You should see info on the FTP server show up. If you cant connect, he has not properly forwared ports.
