Configuring Mac OS X Server FTP and HTTP access

[nsutt22]

I am trying to configure FTP access in 10.3 Server. I turn the settings on and then open the ports in the firewall to point to the server but i dont seem to have access. anythoughts? my http is also not working and i have port 80 point to the server IP?

I don't know if you have gone through the steps of port forwarding port 80 to your computer, if not try this website for help.

Also what software are you using to host the website? Apache inside of OS X and the integrated ftp software or some 3rd software?

My linksys router is set to port foward 21 to the IP of the server. I am using the built in ftp and apache that comes with 10.3 server. I can remote desktop in to my server throught he internet but i cant ping it oddly enough. I have simply just turned on ftp and web sharing. I think i must be missing a step.
