NSLU 2 and Port 21

[DeBoX]

Cheers

I recently bought a NSLU2 and a WRT54 GS router, with the goal to setup a nice little ftp server. The problem is that shortly after I bought the stuff, I found out that my ISP is blocking the standard ftp port (21).

So is there anyway to go around this, as in make the NSLU use a different port???


A million thanks in advance !!

Re: NSLU 2 and Port 21

usually you can turn off the port blocking via your admin panel for your isp, otherwise you can set router to map port XXX (pick a port) to port 21, so you don't need to change the port on nslu2, just your router

ie your router will remap the external port (could be port 2345) to port 21

so inside your network you would still use port 21, outside port 2345
