Default FTP doesn't work through router



I setup FTP in Windows XP and I can log in to the FTP site locally, as well
as from any computer on my LAN. But when I try and FTP to the same computer
via the Internet I get the following message:

"Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name
correctly and that you have permission to access the folder".

I have ports 20 & 21 set to forward TCP & UDP to the correct IP. What am I
missing?

Looks like passive mode not working, you need others port for passive mode
to work. read

or make your IE use active mode

How do I configure the port range for passive connection in Windows XP? I've
seen articles about 2K and 2003 Server, but nothing about XP. Same steps as
2003?

I'm afraid you can't. this is only available for W2k SP4 or W2k3
