How to Set up Port Forwarding for a NetworkIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Make a list of ports you need to forward. Most programs require their ports to be forwarded; if this is not done, information from these programs will not be seen by your local computer. If you know a program for which ports need to be forwarded, write it down. Afterwards, check the software manufacturer's website to find the port or series of ports along with the protocol type associated with your program/application of interest. Write this down as well.
Set up a static IP address on the computer for which ports will be forwarded. To set up a static IP address on a Mac OS X, simply click the apple icon on the top left corner of the screen, select 'System Preferences' and under 'Internet and Network,' select 'Network.' Select the network connection you are currently using and click 'Configure.' Click 'Configure IPv4' and select 'Manually.' The IP address you select should be similar to your router's IP address with the last number ranging range from 1-254. Typically, you can add 10 or more to the your router's last number. This should work in most cases as a static IP address. For instance, if your router's address is 192.168.1.1, you can choose 192.168.1.11 as your static IP address.
Start forwarding your ports by accessing your router's website. Open a web browser (Explorer, Safari or Firefox) and enter your router's IP address after the http://. This should lead you to your router's website. Locate the links which will lead you to Port Forwarding or Port Redirection. Once there, simply indicate the Program/Application Name, protocol type (TCP or IP) and port number(s) on both the public and private ports. You might need to check off a box to indicate that you would like to activate this port. Click 'OK' or 'Save' to save your settings.
Reconfigure your firewall so that you are able to open ports that are being blocked by your firewall. Alternatively, you can disable your firewalls and turn them on manually one at a time to see which firewall is blocking ports from entering your LAN.

How to Add FTP User With LinuxIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Log in to the FTP server as user 'root.' Start a shell by either logging in in text mode, or by launching a terminal window from graphical mode. The specific way of performing this step depends on the Linux distribution. For example, for Ubuntu Linux, click on 'Applications' on the taskbar at the top of the screen, then select 'Terminal.'
Create the new FTP user by entering the following command into the shell:adduser -c 'Jake Nix (FTP)' -m jakenixReplace 'Jake Nix' with the user's full name, and 'jakenix' with the user name he will use to access the FTP server.
Set a password for the new account by entering the following command into the shell:passwd jakenixPress 'Enter,' then enter the same password twice, pressing 'Enter' after each time.
Configure the FTP server to make FTP accounts correspond to accounts local to the server, by adding the following line to file '/etc/vsftpd.conf' with a text editor:local_enable=YESSave the file and exit the text editor.
Restart the FTP server to make it read the change to its configuration, by entering the following command into the shell:service vsftpd restartPress 'Enter.' At that point, the new user will have been added to the FTP server, and the server will be ready to accept FTP connections from the new user.
