greetings all..

for starters, i performed a search.... didnt see anything that would assist me with this matter.


Now the problem is i'm trying to set-up an ftp for a couple of my buddies online to get some music files from me. I am not knowledgeable about ftps AT ALL..


i googled a bit and downloaded the program suggested in this tutorial

[url]http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1491&page=7[/url]

i follow their instructions and whenever my friends put in my IP address that i used for the SERV-U ftp program i got, they get a *page cannot be found* is there something wrong i am doing?


i'm, Using windows xp sp2 btw

thanks

Posted by: Sunyboy

Posted by: Sunyboy

ok, to my knowledge i didnt know i had to type * [url]ftp://[/url] before the address..


but even now its saying *530 NOT LOGGED IN* when i input the user name and password..

haven't a clue what that means...


thx for yoru help

I don't even get a login screen.

Do you have a router?



Posted by: Bruce

I've never used serve-u

I just use iis in xppro



Posted by: Sunyboy

well i have road runner service, just a cable modem...


i allwoed access for all users just to get rid of the 53 problem, and now i'm able to see the directory, but other people cant see it..

its weird



Posted by: Bruce

Is it a router modem combo??

when u do an ipconfig from the run box what IP do u see?



Posted by: Bruce

so when ur on the box and type in [url]ftp://localhost[/url] you can see it?



Posted by: Sunyboy

the ipconfig command is invalid with the version of windowsi 'm using.. i'm usign a Tiny Xp rebuild



Posted by: Sunyboy

well, i thought the it was [url]ftp://..then[/url] the Ip address?


nothign comes up for me when i put that in * [url]ftp://localhost*[/url]



Posted by: Bruce

try typing in 192.168.1.1 into IE see if a config page comes up.

I tried that tinyxp once i couldnt even get online with it.

Posted by: Bruce

Ur IP is rejecting my pings also so there hasta be some type of firewall in place or ur isp could be blocking port 21



Posted by: Sunyboy

Posted by: Sunyboy

Posted by: Bruce

Posted by: Bruce

Posted by: Bruce

Now u just gotta play with that firewall and see how to make an exception for it
