Hi,

I want to setup an in house ftp server. I've setup IIS and ftp
service before for an internal network so I'm happy with that. What
I'm not sure is how to open up the firewall for port redirection or
putting the server in the dmz. I have a basic vigour2600plus router
that has port forwarding and dmz cababilities. I've read that port
directing would be good enough for this. any thoughts on dmz vs port
forwarding?

Also can you confirm that to get a url working i will need to get a
fixed IP then pay for someone to translate that to ftp://ftp.guy.com
or whatever I want.

I'd appreciate any tips on the above from those more experienced than
me.

regards,

Guy

As of how to configure port forwarding at your router, you need to refer to
your router documentation. Google the net will provides you more hints as
well.

Basically for active mode you need inbound 21 and outbound 20.
Passive mode required a lot more port range,by default is 1024-5000
