I want to setup an FTP server on my mac mini, so that selected friends can access files over the internet. I've tried to follow the instructions available but all I get is the home page of my BT HomeHub, not the ftp server. WTF am I doing wrong? |

This phenomenon is covered in this wiki guide and this Q&A. However, if you get to the router's admin page, it looks like as if you don't use a regular FTP client, but you try to use the reduced browser built-in FTP functionality without specifying the protocol. If you work with a browser, you must use If you don't want to explicitly specify the protocol and port, you could use a WebHop Redirection. Also, I would like to discourage you using FTP. This is no longer state of the art, insecure and complicated to handle with firewalls. Better use a HTTPS or SSH/SFTP based solution. |
