I am relatively new to any sort of networking. I upgraded my router to dd wrt 23 SP1, and now I want to set up an ftp server. I have tried forwarding and everything, but I am just not getting it.

It would be a huge help if someone more skilled than I just took a minute to give me a rough step by step on what to do. I can google terminology that I don't understand, and I learn fast, so I am not asking for a lot of information. Just a step by step so I can understand what I am doing.

Thank you!

What FTP server are you using? Trying using PASSIVE mode on your client.

I am using alftp as server and client. I have tried everything I have read or can think of, including passive mode. For the record, I already have a static IP address. I just don't know what else I can do. It doesn't matter that the client side is behind a router, right?

I'm assuming you can access the server both from itself, and from another computer on the LAN. Is this correct?

I think it does with PASSIVE mode, but not with Active.

alftp works fine for me. I have the server running, ports 5000-5100 forwarded, and port 82 forwarded to port 21. I have to use port 82 since my ISP blocks server usage by port. I can then connect to my server via web2ftp.com using my DDNS and port 82.

I can access from inside the Lan, that is right.

Okay. I did all of that. I don't have a ddns so I am using my IP address and it is not connecting. I will run through what I have.

My IP is 67.140.241.37

Alftp is running a server on my computer static IP, which is 192.168.1.101

I have port range 5000-5100 on ip 192.168.1.101 Forwarded

I have port 82 forwarded to port 21 on IP 192.168.1.101

I think that is all the information I have. What am I missing?

Those settings should work, at least they do for me (v23 SP1 Mini).

I would recommend getting a DDNS account - its free, and really nice to have!

Also, is the ip of 192.168.1.101 in the pool of DHCP addresses? I would recommend moving it to something lower than 192.168.1.100, or something higher than 192.168.1.149.

I am on V23SP1 micro. And it does not work.

I changed my machine's IP to 192.168.1.155. It didn't do anything. (I changed all of the forwarding addresses as well.)

I am really at a loss about why this is not working. I have had NAT problems in limewire, emule, and any sort of bittorrent client, as well. Is that possibly related?

Yes, it does! But you must try it from OUTSIDE your LAN, e.g. have a friend try to connect.

Anyways, read the WIKI to be more informed what's going on.

I tried using web2ftp and it didn't work. It works just fine inside of my Lan.

Also, I have my server running with anonymous logins allowed if one of you guys would try and connect. I have it set on port 82, once again, and my IP is: 67.140.241.37

Once again, I am new to all of this. But when I go to http://www.eigeneip.de/, that's what it tells me my WAN side (I think I used that term correctly) IP is that one I just gave. Is there any way that that is wrong?

I have no doubt that's your valid IP, but I can't connect to it.

Okay. So is there anything I am doing wrong here? I haven't adjusted any of the settings from what I posted up there. I am runnign AlFTP on a server with Sever IP of the machine it is running on, which is IP 192.168.1.155. Anonymous connections allowed, on Port 21. There are a max of 2 connections allowed.

I am at a loss here. Is it possible that my ISP can block all FTP?
