🜲 Samapico Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 OK I want to host a small ftp server on my computer... I have the software and everything is set up... I'm living in university residences... so all computers within the university, or the residences have the school as ISP... So there are a lot of limitations with the external world. For example, it seems they are blocking inbound connections on FTP ports (I tried 20, 21... I heard 2121 was FTP too but it made my server crash ?!)On all computers in the university network, I can connect fine... but outside, no. Is there any way to get around that? Or any free services available that would allow me to do that? I don't need alot of bandwidth or disk space... Basically it would be to share files for school projects with the rest of the team. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop
★ doc flabby Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 (edited) You can run an FTP server on any port, any decent FTP server software will not crash if u run on a different port. try a really high one like 43252 as they are not always blocked, more likely the problem is the university prevents all incoming connections.

⛊ Drake7707 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 (most) universities/colleges have firewalls that block all inbound connections, unless they are on an ignore list (browsing, mail, updates for progs are all outbound)
🜲 Samapico Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Posted June 4, 2007 yeah i pretty much knew that... so... no way to get around this? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop
