So I set everything up have a dynamic dns and i can access the ftp internally but cannot access the ftp from the outside any suggestion. heres a little I have verizon wireless modem and my router is connected to the modem I have port foward ip ending in .14 which is my nighthawk router port forward port 21
You didn't specify which router you have, but since you are posting in the Nighthawk forum, I'm going assume that's what you have.
If you look on page 89 of the R7000 manual, you'll see that there are two FTP settings. One to enable local access and one to enable Internet access. You need to enable the latter.
You have a port forwarding rule where the IP address is the router itself? That doesn't make any sense. You want the port forwarding rule to point to the IP address of the FTP server on your home network.
yeah that what I did I check the routers logs and it says [USB remote access] from xx.xx.xx.xx through FTP, Tuesday, Feb 23,2016 20:42:01but nothing comes up
Yes let me try to explain again in case i said something wrong
I have the dynamic dns and i have set up ftp from the net gear router which I can access internally but not from the outside
my modem has a ip of 192.168.xx.xx my net gear routers ips is 192.168.xx.14 so I did a port foward 192.168.xx.14 tcp and udp 21 I am trying to ftp to my usb
Yes If I enabled it like I said works internal but not from the outside same thing if I pick the HTTP as well it works internally but not from the outside
