Hello guys, Im having a problem. I used to make my FTP server with
bulletproof FTP server and had no problems, cause I had cablemodem.
Now I've switched to ADSL, I have a modem router AZTECH 305EU working only as modem on only 1 PC, and I have it set to have a static IP and primary and secondary static DNS addresses.
Now, I try to make my FTP server but my friend cant connect to it. I tried forwarding the port Im setting the server to, but that doesnt seem to work.
How should I set up my FTP server with ADSL, so that my friend can upload and download to and from my computer?
Should I enable or disable DMZ? Should I forward which ports? Should I set static or dynamic IP?
Please help me.
If anyone has Bulleftproof FTP server and knows how to properly setup a personal FTP server, please let me know, cause I've never set up a server on ADSL technology.
There is a high probability that your ISP filters the normal port traffic used by FTP, at least the default control channel, port 21. You can try using a non-standard port. That's what F-Servs do. Obviously you will want to forward the control port.
You can try seeing if DMZ will work but if not it's probably filtered.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Second, Yeah I didnt set port 21 as the FTP's port. I have set port 74, and properly forwarded 74 as TCP and UDP on my modem's config.
DMZ is disabled cause I have a static IP.
What should I do?
Well, you have to forward port 21 TCP (and 20, so you can support passive FTP). See if that works. Only if that fails should you try putting your system in the DMZ. However, that's less desirable because you will essentially be unfirewalled. If that fails, you can safely say your ISP is filtering FTP and should run on another control port (i.e. not port 21) or data port (port 20 PASV).

PASV is usually better, simply because it's more "firewall friendly". Simply have him CONNECT, set BINARY mode if needed, and to a PUT, MPUT, or send depending on what FTP client you are using.
