Do i need anything special to setup an FTP server.

I have the software.

If you already have the FTP server software, then no, you don't need anything else.

If your going to do some major swaping I'd suggest geting the usual stuff... AV, anti- spy/adware, trojan removal. But if you already have software to setup FTP then why bother asking?

/edited: Damn Cheyenne1212, I go get something to eat and BAM someone beats me to a fresh thread.

Well..

I am behind a router and i am using Bullet Proof FTP

I ask my friends to connect and every time it says connection failed

you need to open up the FTP ports (20 and 21 ) on your router and if you're using private addresses (RFC 1918) then you will need to forward those ports to whatever box your FTP server is.

**EDIT**
Make sure that box is patched if you're making it available on the net.

You need the hardware too

I set myself up as a DMZ is that good enough

DMZ is evil...if you have a Linksys router try this, and if not try this anyways http://www.linksysftp.org/index.php

With a setup like this, would you guys suggest a software firewall also?

Im behind a belkin router (its a piece of S#%$) I already configured the virtual server on port 21.
I have bullet proof FTP and a dynamic ip can anyone walk me through the setup.
