FTP Sever

[Hazard]

Im trying to setup a FTP server using WinFTP, when i go online, it gives me two addresses that its listening for, my local IP address as well as 127.0.0.1 but i cant access 127.0.0.1 from another location. Ive enabled Virtual Server on my Router with port 21 (I have a Dlink Router).

Anything im missing?

127.0.0.1 is your local address, it's the same for each machine and applies only to that machine i.e. you won't be able to access another machine via that address.

how do i get it to work over the internet?

I want to be able to access it from my house... both locations have ADSL

Nevermind, i sorted it... now how do i get multiple users to connect?

You Ip will change each time it resets, which is usually every 24hours.

There are ways to avoid your IP changing being a problem. I think dyndns.com and noip.com will help you with it.
