Hi,

I want to set up a public FTP server for my LAN at home, however, I don't want to use port 21.

* I am using the FTP service that's built into IIS in Windows XP Pro.

* I am using an HP HN200E router.

* I went into my router admin to set up port forwarding with a service port range (8900-8910, TCP Protocol) that I specified so that public users would be redirected to the specified IP address. The port that I want to use is 8906.

* Public users are able to connect to theFTP server when I use port 21.

When I type ftp://:8906, I get the following FTP Folder error message:

An error has occurred opening that folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder.

Details: 200 Type set to A.
500 Invalid PORT Command.
500 'LPRT 6,16,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,67,0,0,0,0,0,133,96,2,15,146': command not understood.

Any ideas?

thx

since users can still connect to port 21 for FTP it means that you have not configured the FTP site inside of IIS to allow port 8906.

Just changing it on the router does not change the default port of 21 for FTP in the IIS server.

I forgot to mention... in IIS, I am using a static 192.168.1.X address and the port was already set to 8906. Also, DHCP was disabled on the router
