Alright i have a proftp server running on my desktop pc with anonymous login enabled. I am able to login to it from its own box ok. but when i try to login from my laptop using the net ip i get a connection timeout and when i do it with the local ip i can connect but when i try to login as user ftp it asks for my password as a full email address and i do this but i get a login incorrect message what exactly am i doing wrong and how do i set up the users and passwords for my ftp server?
