ftp access anyware

i setup an ftp server on my windows box so where ever i am i can get my files(friends house for example)
i used bulletproof ftp server
i want to access this from internet exporer but it ses wrong username and passwd or something like that
i set up an acount for myself
i didnt see an option for twhat i want to do anyway
but i probably have no clue what option to use/turn on-off/etc...

overall problem

want to access ftp server with internet explorer
how do i enter the pass and username
OR
how do i make it an open server (experience with bulletproof ftp server required)

IE should prompt you for a username and password, but if it doesn't,
try typing the address into the IE address bar like this:

ftp://username:password@address

It's not very secure, though. The password goes over the net in plain text.

it works on my computer but it didnt at my friends house
im headed overthere now to see what i can do
il get back to u

well, are you behind a router? if you are chances are you have to set up a DMZ, or the router wont allow outside access....



slick

i set my router up for the dmz
still no access
my friend can connect but login
i think my belkin router is refusing the connection some reason
any wireless routers u might recommend(the server will be hard lined but i have laptops)

ok im in the dmz and i have a virtuial server on port 21 tcp and udp
my friend tried the internet explorer way and downloaded cuteftp
any ideas?
