Hey guys and Gals,
I gather this may be an old question to ask but I've been searching for solutions all day with no joy.
I want to be able to have ftp access to my computer from another outside my network. I can access my computer from the same computer using the IP address 192.168 etc etc no problems (except i can only get read only privellages for some reason - same problem when I access one of my website ftp servers using Go - Connect To Server)
So I discovered what IP address is assigned to the router (213.***.3.***). I then set up the Linksys WRT54G router to forward port 21 to 192.168.1.6 which is what I have assigned to my mac (using DHCP with manual address).
Now when I go to Connect To Server and try connecting to ftp://213.***.3.*** after putting in my login details eventually I just get the error message "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct"
So any ideas where I am going wrong? I'd also like to get set up with VNC so I can help my sister on her mac but I guess it'll be the same issue with that too.
Any thoughts or guidance would be very gratefully recieved.
