hello guys, i have been trying to get this to work for weeks now s
maybe you can help me out. i have windows 2000 server running IIS wit
a webpage and an FTP site. i'm on cable internet and behind a router
i'm new to setting up FTP and i can't get this to work. the way i thin
it should work is someone types my IP address and when the router get
the request it forwards the request to my server, right?

ok, well my website works fine, people online can view it. my FTP i
another story. i don't want anon access, only accounts that i setup t
have access to the files and folders. if i set it to allow anon acces
then as long as i type the server's IP (192.168.xxx.xxx) then it wil
let me in but if i disable the anon then it wont let me in.

also i get nothing at all when i try from the internet. any ideas?

So you're saying it works fine, but only in anonymous? And what
errors do you get when it's not using anonymous access?

This probalby has nothing to do with your problem, but some cable ISPs
specifically block FTP to their customers. (One company even has a "if
you try to run an FTP server, we will terminate the account") This was
done to block warz usage of badly setup FTP servers, which aside from
the ethics of the idea, was hogging massive bandwidth.
