Hi Sir,

But when i tried to connect it using my local IP address in my laptop but has and internet access,using the SME server public ip  it seems i can't connect sir.
ftp://203.177.208.219
but if  i used the local ip address of the SME server  ftp://10.169.10.123 it seems fine..

That most likely has to do with your DNS setup or your network topology, both of them are unknown to me.

since you are not using SME as dhcp server, I guess your client get ip from router..
if so, your firewall (the router's one) sees an access request to public ip coming from a private ip and simply deny it..
I repeat, I'm just making a supposition..
