Re: FTP unable to connect from outside

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.

Re: FTP unable to connect from outside

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.

Did you set it up to port forward TCP port 21?

Re: FTP unable to connect from outside

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

Ok, I see. Did you enable FTP access from the Internet in the Readyshare settings on the Netgear router?
