Ftp

[browser]

I used Bullet FTP Server and the guide in the lounge but after i set it up, what do i tell others to do if they want to d/l it. Can they d/l it from internet explorer?

[james_bond_rulez]

yes, but you have to tell ur friends ur ip address

to make ur life easier go to www.no-ip.com or www.dyndns.org to register a dns name and a client to update ur ip when it changes

[browser]

i got a no-ip host and i can log on to the ftp from my pc but others say they can't get in? What have i done wrong?

[james_bond_rulez]

you are probably running a firewall or a router, remember to open port 21 for incoming traffic, if that's what you have ur ftp service running on...

[browser]

it didn't work even without my firewall and u can't open ports on ZoneAlarm but i allow it full access rights. Any other ideas?

[I.am]

Are you on dialup then download the other client he mentioned to update your ip.

You can ofcourse go to your own ftp as the address is just localhost.

Are you behind a router or some sort of network of univ./appts etc?

you had the same problem with a http server didnt you browser.

im guessing that it could be your isp trying to prevent you from running any kinda services.

which machine are these services runnig on the gateway pc or the other.

yeah, i had trouble with Fireserv and Bullet FTP, they were both running on my new PC, which is directly connected to the internet. Why should my ISP stop me from running a server? can i ask them?

ur likely to confirm their suspicion and they'll cut off ur service altogether :lol:

read the eula, running servers of ANY kind is NOT allowed with most isps

[browser]

really? why r they against it?

it&#39;s costly for them? <_<

that&#39;s why they have packages for small businesses and home users.

you can run servers with most business internet packages, but not with home bundles <_<

do u know if BT Broadband (UK) allow servers or not? and is there a way round this?

how do i know? but if you can&#39;t connect even if you have all the proper settings your isp is probably blocking every p2p traffic available

go to www.grc.com and do a port scan on your connection line with firewall off and see which ports are blocked by ur isp

then just switch to those unblocked ports on bt

but this is only a temp solution, ur isp controls everything and sees everything... <_<

[browser]

I don&#39;t think they r allowed in the UK. But what do i know

this is as far as i&#39;ll take you, you gotta learn how to do things yourself

go to proceed, then click on "all service ports", make sure ur firewall/router is off, connect ur computer directly from modem
