Ok I’m going to try to give as much info as possible and hope someone can help me. I set up an FTP site on a server (Windows 2003) using the IIS Manager. The IP is 192.168.0.100 and the TCP Port is 21. I allow anonymous users. I can access the FTP from computers on my network using ftp://192.168.0.100 however I cannot access it from other computers. I: ~ Made my IP static ~ Went into my router settings (D-Link DI-514) and enabled “Virtual server to enable port (public/privet) 21 to the IP 192.168.0.100 Protocol type is both TCP&UDP. I got my IP from my router status, say it 56.123.78.963 I’ve tried everything: ftp://56.123.78.963 ftp://guest:anonymous@56.123.78.963 ftp://administrator:<admin_password>@56.123.78.963 I can’t get a connection. Does anyone have any suggestions?

you forgot to specify the port a quick google reveals the url syntax for ftp ftp://user:password@host:port/path user: obviously the user password: user password host: ip address (56.123.78.963) port: port number (21) so it should be ftp://administrator:adminpassword@56.123.78.963:21
