I am set up an ftp site on my windows 2000 server, but when I test it ftp localhost it gives me an error message unknown error number. Or when I change the ip addres it gives me the error of the coneccion being terminated from the server. I follow the steps mentioned in techrepublic but is not working for me. For the IP address to use, Should I use my WAN ip?
is there any other settings that I need to be aware of. Thanks in advance for your help..

Use one of the IPs of your Server. Go to a DOS Box and type IPCONFIG to see your setup. Setup the FTP site using "Internet Services Manager" located in Administrative Tools in Control Panel. Check Services in Administrative Tools too and make sure the FTP Service is running. Also the address in your browser is ftp://127.0.0.1 or IP or localhost. If you want the site to be public, you will have to have your router forward ports 20 & 21 to your Server's IP. Then the public would use your WAN IP to get access.
