FTP behind a PIX 501

[wilsonargroup]

The answer to my problem is probably hidden among the hundreds of discussions already posted, so I apologize for my lack of experience/knowledge of networking, servers and all that.

I'm having several problems and all appear to point to the configuration of my PIX 501. Let's deal with this one first...Using Windows SBS 2003, I have set up an FTP site for my company. It works great internally, but no one outside of the company can access the file(s) that I want them to. I am aware that Port 21 needs to be open for FTP and I'm pretty sure that it's enabled.

If this isn't enough information, please let me know so I can provide more details.

If you have them open a command prompt and type

C:\>ftp 65.65.172.57

They will be prompted for Username and password.(this means that the pix is working)

If you do this via the web browser, ftp://65.65.172.57, go up to File and select "login as".

I forgot to post that my FTP problem has been resolved. Thanks for all the time you spent helping/teaching me how to configure my PIX.

wilsonargroup, glad it worked out, please check that not just anyone can access your ftp site and files.

Well, that's what I'm researching now. Currently, anyone who knows the URL has access to the files.
