Mark,

I have a DSl connection (Dynamic IP address).

I am using a DNS host. http://www.dyndns.org/

I also have a linksys router that has a ddns feature to keep
updating my ip address for me to the above website.


I have no idea how my directory is setup. i have the ftp server up
and running but not sure how to establish user names and passwords
and ect.

still trial and error.

Im slowly learning though.

Doug
