File Transfering

**700zx** · 10-24-2004,09:35 PM

I want to transfer some 'files' with my bro who is going to college currently. I tried to setup an ftp with him but i couldnt seem to get it to work. I am in DMZ and my bro has dhcp and cant forward any ports. I was wondering if there were any alternatives. All help appreciated!

well since he goes to college and i assume he is on a EDU line, a lot of people take advantage of those, so they might be blocking port 21 (default FTP port) try setting up your ftp server on a different port for your bro to connect to.

does not matter what port is sometimes
i run an ftp and some colleges works block the type of transfer not the port

blocked it on port 21, 1982, 2182, 22122 and it is not a fire wall that has them blocked becuase other things we coudl set up on those ports

hmmm that's a possibility too, if that's true then that sux, how do they expect people to xfer files? I guess they don't :/

have you set up an ftp server on a high port then connect to it using passive mode

since you are the DMZ are the additional restrictions imposed on you? you may be only allowed to make / recieve connecitons on specific ports :\

I've already tried it on different ports, none worked. I have tried connecting using passive mode on a high port and that didnt work either. Also, im not restricted at all on my internet. An FTP would be the best to use but if i could get mirc going that would be ok too.

it doesn't really make a difference which program you use... you just have to find a port which gets forwarded to his computer.. or use passive mode.

are there any other services that work on his computer? (kazaa etc, ) if so, you can close down that program, and open up a server on that port.
