i have succesfully setup an FTP server. There isonly one problem. others can't connect. I use filezilla as my ftp client and i am ableto log in and browse the directory. But if someone else has my FTP address they cannot connect. It will either say server closed connection or that the FTP was terminated. I go through a router and everything is port forwarded correctly. My personal firewall is also turned off. what could be preventing others from accesing my computer?
 
What OS?!
If it is Linux it may due to your authentication file /etc/pam.d/ftp. Also check the /etc/ftpusers (or the file named in the authentication file ftp)
