Ethernet Harddrive With Built In Ftp

[hiro]

is there a step by step guide to setting this up in the harddrive config its just port 21 and ip address/subnet etc how do i connect through the internet

[james.wilson]

you will need to portforward port 21 from your router to the device. But some isp block p[orts 21, 25 80 etc.

Also you will need a static ip or ddns setup

[farker]

or on your router you can put the drive in a DMZ and it is not protected by the firewall... only use to test really but should be ok as its only supporting port 21 and 80

point is the same as u set up different pc-s in your network. u need to give to your hard drive ip address and then forward port in your router. and then u can go to www.whatismyip.com where u will see your ip. some ISP wount change ip very often ( like virgin, mine is same for year allready) so its good news then. lol

And then if u wanna log in to your hard drive for eg. if your ip address is 86.101.222.70 and port u forwarded for your hard drive is 88 u type on your web browser http://86.101.222.70:88

Good luck and dont buy a cheap router!!
