    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.
    I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.

    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....

And the whole time, I was thinking, \"I\'m a grown man. I should know what goes on my head.\" And the more I thought about it... the more I realized that I should just blow my brains out and end it all. But then I thought, well, if I thought more about blowing my brains out... I start worrying about what that was going to do to my goddamn carpet. Okay, so, ah-he, that was a GOOD day, Doc. And, and I just want you to give me some pills and let me get on with my life. \" -Roy Waller

    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)
