Open Port 21

[Jeremyboy222]

Hi,


I have a problem..
I need to open port 21 from my Airport Express.
I already configured this in my Airport Configuration Program.
But it isn't working when I check it on canyouseemee.org.

Can someone help me?

Best Regards,

TCP port 21 is for ftp. Do you have an ftp server running? Can you connect to it locally? Can you connect to it from other machines on your network? Did you forward from the router to the correct IP address? Is there another router between the express and the internet?

And don't use ftp. Use SFTP, which is provided by SSH on port 22.

Dear,

Thanks for the response..
I was on holiday for a couple of days so I don't looked at this topic anymore.
I realy need the port 21..
There's a D-Link between Express and the internet...

There's your problem. Make sure the express is set to bridged mode (and therefore port routing on it is irrelevant), and set up port routing on the D-link.

Hi,


Thanks but there's something strange..
If I use my 'Emergency' Router, Port 21 works fine..
But that 'Emergency' router is also connected with the D-Link.

And I think the D-Link is a HUB..

It's possible your ISP is blocking port 21. Try other ports.

bridge mode would mean ports wouldn't have to be opened. could be your ISP blocking the port. try a different one
