Help me set up home FTP server? :)

Akumos · Dec 7, 2013

Hey.. I've just registered a domain name with 123-reg.. added a DNS A record for ftp to point to my public IP. MXToolbox shows it has updated. I've installed filezilla server on my PC, set it to listen on port 21. I've forwarded the port on my router to my PCs IP address... What else do I need to do to use ftp.domainname.com in windows explorer to connect?

thanks for your help

You will need to forward port 21 in the router from your public ip to the local ip that the ftp server has. Normally you should set static ip on the ftp server. Everything else looks ok.

You'll need to use the right address: ftp://domainname.com

Thanks for the advice, got that. Needed a user setup on Filezilla.

Use filezilla client and connect using the user profile you made. Alot better than connecting thru a basic ftp web page
