I remotely control my office PC which is connected to our coporate network. It is in 172.23.X.X series/ private.
How to run ftp service (Server) there? Don't I need public IP to configure ftp server in that PC?
My purpose is to run ftp server in that remote PC (connected to private LAN/internet), and download the files from that PC through ftp client in my home computer here!
(I do get connected to that remote PC through Cisco VPN client software in my PC here)
You will have to configure your router/firewall to allow ports 20 and 21 thru, translating the outside IP address to route the traffic into your 172.23.x.x network. Make sense?
You would access the public IP address on your "WAN" side. The router/firewall will assure that the traffic gets routed to the correct pc on the private network side as long as you have those ports programmed correctly.
