    Ubuntu FTP Server

    I am trying to run an FTP server on my Ubuntu machine and when I connect to FTP using Nautilus it takes me to my "/" folder (access everything), when I use gFTP it takes me to my home folder.

    But I cannot connect to my computer through the internet it doesn't work, I forwarded ports 2o and 21 in my router...

    I have gproftpd and vsftpd on my Ubuntu machine so maybe that would explain why I get different behaviour.

    I want to be able to access my computer over the internet, but I cannot connect.

    Yes I was using my external IP. It works for VNC but not FTP.

    Ports 20 and 21 are open.

    So do I type:

    #telnet ipaddress 21

    #nmap ipadress

    on windows?

    PS Is there a way to do samba over the internet, that would work too for what I need?
