Reflux Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I just recently set up a FTP server at home since I was fed up with the slow connections of sending files though msn and aim and the free filehosting services just wasnt cutting it. For the FTP server im using to activate PASV it said that you need ports 1024 and above is that safe or should i use PORT commands which only requires port 20 and 21? Also I do not understand the difference between port forwarding and port triggers, i know port tiggering is a form of port forwarding thats about it. Quote
level42 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 You'll need to forward the ports www.portforward.com Quote
Reflux Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 Yes i know i have to forward the ports but i want to know how much of a risk am i running if i forward the ports 1024 and up. Quote
Sparda Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 Extreme risk if you open all of them. You only need to forward port 21, if this FTP software requires any other ports open it's a piece of shit and a wast of time. Quote
cooper Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 FTP is a bit of a PITA protocol. You should set up a webserver and serve up files through that. It's typically faster too. FTP is great when you want others to upload to you aswell. Quote
