How do I setup an FTP server behind a router on the DNS-323?

Step 1: Log into the DNS-323 configuration.




Step 2: Click on the Advanced tab and select FTP Server. Setup you users FTP Server Settings for user access and Save settings.




Step 3: Start the FTP server.




If you are behind a router, you will need to forward the FTP port from the router to the DNS-323. Additional filtering and firewall settings may need to be modified on your router to allow FTP Access to the DNS-323 from the Internet. Once the port has been forwarded on the router, users from the internet will access the FTP server through the WAN IP address of the router (ex ftp://24.68.234.432:21).


Step 4: Setup Port Forwarding rule.

**If you are using a D-Link router, such as the WBR-2310 used in the example below, your port forwarding rule should be similar to the following:

Name - DNS-323_FTP.
IP Address - Enter the IP address of the DNS-323. (ex. 192.168.0.105)
Public Port - 21.
Private Port - 21.
Traffic Type - TCP.



Step 5: Save settings.
