a PowerMac server? - Page 2

what I'm trying to make is an FTP online, but I cant get it to work.
Anyhow, It's not for the public eye, this is just for personal backup

Ahhh - that's a bit different

FTP is port 21. You could enable the FTP service and setup the port forwarding for that.

I can access my computers website locally now, but I cant find the "port forwarding" on my routers setup (Its a Siemens (Klicky)).
And I don't know how to make my files available to a windows-computer online.

great news, I now have configured my router correct, so the only thing remaining is to access the files on my computer instead of a simple HTML-file

now everything works for file-exchange over the internet, but only for my mac, my PC says "530 User anonymous unknown", what do I do to make the login-screen pop up?

If you need to know the IP-number assigned by your provider (even if you are behind a router) just enter: http://www.whatismyip.com/

Good luck, Kees

You have to have a static IP. Otherwise there's no point trying.
Try rebooting your router and looking at your ip.

Also: Do you have good protection on your router and computer?

Web hosting is very tricky.

I could always sort you some hosting if you like?

Well, you don't "have" to have a static IP. It does make things much simpler, but you can easily get around that limitation through using services (free, at that) like the DynDNS.com service, which automatically updates your DNS pointer with the proper IP address.
