Setting up an FTP Server Behind a Cisco 678 ADSL Router

[Rejordan]

I just got a Cisco 678 and want to set up an FTP server so I can x-fer large files back and forth from work. I am using Win2k Pro. This is my first attempt at setting up an FTP server and I am unfamiliar with this router and the Cisco BOS. Any help would be appreciated.

If you have no experience whatsoever using Cisco's IOS then I suggest you download Cisco's freeware configuration tool called Config Maker. It won't let you do a lot of advanced stuff but it can definitely set up a static NAT translation for between the router and a host machine for FTP.

You'll find it here on Cisco's web site:

http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/configmaker

Once you've learned ho to use it, you can view what the IOS configuration to your setup looks like. This should help you to learn the various IOS commands.

Good luck,

Niall

Niall,
I appreciate the info, but the Cisco 678 uses CBOS and not IOS. Also the site for the configmaker does not list the 600 series (it lists 800, 1000, 1600, 1700, 2500, 2600, 3600 and 4000 series) as one that is supported by this software. But once again, thanks for taking the time to respond.

No problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Is the Cisco 678 in CAP, or DMT, and is it in PPP or Bridging? Using DHCP or static IP. If static IP, a single IP, or a IP block? All these determine the exact series of CBOS commands required.

I think this answers most of your questions....

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

You need to open up your ftp port by setting your NAT (network address translation) entry in the router

you need to get into your router
get into enable mode
Type the following, as it will open up port 21 on your router to accept FTP traffic:

set nat entry add 10.0.0.2 21 tcp
write
reboot

The above method will enable port 21 for whatever your external IP happens to change to.

I don't read this form.. just searching for something today.
Anyway. if you need more help search for these key words "Cisco, NAT entry, FTP"

good luck
