trq Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Firstly, Apache is a web server, not an FTP server. All you need do though is setup your router to forward requests to the FTP port to the computer on your lan that hosts your FTP server.

joeysarsenal Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 well to do that i need a ip address but my computer keeps picking it up as what my router sets it up as. Have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Go to http://portforward.com/routers.htm for how to port forward your FTP servers port. I used that site for learning how to port forward. Just find your router in the list (the model number) and read through instructions provided.
