Hi ALL

I have setup FTP which i log in within my computer. Like using ftp ip
address and it allows me to login in wiht my credentials.

But when i try ot login from a remote location it doesn't conect. I tired
with IE and filezilla. I have openened port in windows firewall still doesn't
work.

My computer is alos behind a firewall and i have opened port and policies to
access this computer from outside. My RDP session works it is going through.

My FTP setup:

1.Assigened IP of the hosting computer.
2.Allow anonymous connetion with a specific user name and password which was
created within the local computer.
3. Root folder was shared and under security tab the user account was added
to give permission.

Simple as that. Let me know where i am going wrong.

Thank you

a) test it locally via ftp.exe
b) test it remotely via ftp.exe

if b) is not working, post the ftp.exe output here.

Probably a firewall or NAT or something. Check those.
