I can reply to this one! I have a FTP running on one of my Windows boxes behind my SME v5. 1st thing you need to do is look at this contrib:
http://myezserver.com/docs/mitel/ipportfw-howto.htmlAlso, you will need a FTP server that supports running as a passive FTP (I use GuildFTPd). When you setup port forwarding, and want to use port 2345 as the FTP port, forward tcp ports 2344 and 2345 to the IP address of your FTP server running on the windows client. But, that's only 1/3 of the battle. Now, you also need to forward more ports to allow the data sockets for users, you will need 1 port for each user you plan to have in the FTP at the same time. I forwarded 6 ports for data sockets (ie: 4500 to 4505). These are tcp ports as well. Now you're 2/3's done. Now, in your FTP server that supports passive connections, you have to tell the FTP your external address so it can return that address to the passive client as well as the range of ports you forwarded from the SME box (4500 to 4505).
With all of that said and done, your external users should be able to set their FTP client software to use a passive connection, your external IP address on port 2345. You cannot test this internally as port forwarding only works on the external interface.
Hope this helps....
