    setting up FTP - outside access

    Hi,

    Firstly I am fairly new to Linux and does not know many commands.

    I set up an ftp with vsftp and was enable to work on localhost read write . (boila~)

    But it doesnot work outside using my ip address. ftp X.x.x.x

    I can ping from outside using my ip address.

    I think somehow the request is not forwarded? because I am using DSL line??

    I have really little idea why this doesn't work.

    Could you make any suggestions?? Thanks!!

    Are you behind a router? FTP needs ports 20 and 21 . You need to allow those pors in you firewall(s)
