Hello!
I'm running a NAT machine[C] for a few computers in my home. It's worked
great except I've been unable to figure out how to allow ftp transfers from
my computer[A] to a friend's computer[B] which is behind a router[D].
some other
MY computer MY NATbox stuff Friend router Friends machine
| | ___ | |
[A] --> [C] --> | E | --> [D] --> [B]
| | |___| | |
Can this be done? Is it possible to set up a ftp server on my computer[A]
and expect access to other computers behind these types ip translating
devices? Would it be wiser to place outgoing files on the NAT box itself and
then have it upload the file(s) to the friend's machine? Thx for ANY input,
even if it's about my cool diagram :p
