Hi Mike,

It looks like you have a port forwarding problem here. FTP uses two ports (21, the command channel and 20, the data channel). Try opening port 20 on your router too. It should work then.

Cheers,
Paul.

Hello Folks.

I have installed wu-ftp on a debian etch machine.

I can ftp into /home/ftp as anonymous user using a laptop on the same
network without probs using the internal ip address of the ftp server.

I can't ftp into the same server using its dynamic dns address.

My modem router is forwarding port 21 to the same address that I can
access via the internal route so to speak.

Any thoughts why access is denied in the second case and not the first
please?

TIA
Mike
