Do you have a firewall on the computer?
No I have a hardware firewall
when he ftps to your site, I assume hes using IE to do it. One thing that threw me off one time was I was typing ftp://myip when it should of been ftp:\\myip. That gave me a erro smiliar to the one you recieved. So make sure he has that right. I've never used Bullet proof, but make sure you allow anonymous logins.
A little suggestion here. If you use the standard ports, 20 and 21 as stated above, you will have a lot of guys and gals trying to get into your ftp. There are a lot of programs that test port 21 for the presece of an ftp and when they find one, try to log in using the most common usernames/passwords (guest/guest etc.). My suggestion is that you change the ftp port to something else, like for example port 32027. Just pick one of the ports between 1024 and 64 000 (cant remember the exact numer of ports but hey, it's in the middle of the night here ;) ) as these ports have no pre-determined applications using them. The only thing you have to remember is to give the port number to the person(s) that you want to have access to your ftp so he/she can change the port number in the ftp adress tab.Quote:
you need to open up the FTP ports (20 and 21 ) on your router
I had quite a few persons trying to get into my ftp until I did this change and I haven't had a single attempt since.
Hope this helps. Over and out.
