It must be going through your LAN (see below). Does the domain lenticularftp.com point to your network, or is it just, say, a Rendezvous name you gave one of your computers ?
Code:
[Homsar:~] amras% ftp ftpguest:outerspect@lenticularftp.com
ftp: connect: Connection refused
ftp: Can't connect or login to host `lenticularftp.com'
no had our ip 219.88.168.72, poitning to lenticularftp.com, used to work for some reason but now it doesnt, I remember I had to configure some setting in the router config saying all traffic coming in ports 21 to come through on the local lan address, 192.168.1.11 is this right? dont know why this is not working, I use crush ftp as a manager, do I need ftp access turned on or off when using crush ftp??
Yes its working. But why not try Rumpus FTP software! Its fantastic. Its for Mac only and you can log in via ftp software like Fetch or via a Web Browser with a customisable html (like a GUI). Its very easy to set up and give full control/permissions.
