I too am not too familiar with FTP but the instructions make it so simple, yet I cannot get it to work.  Just using the default port 21.  so on my linksys router, port 21, tcp is ported to my 192.168.1.115 ip of my DNS-321.

I got to my status page in my linksys router and get the WAN ip of 72.193.169.55.

So at my work, I use IE 7 and on the address bar I type: ftp://72.193.169.55:21 and never can get connected. tried from the command prompt in the run box with that same command above and still no success.

Please advise and thank you.

Can you ping that address from a remote location?  FWIW, you don't have to specify the port for FTP if you're using the standard.  You might also try using the Windows command line ftp.

Are you trying to ping from inside the LAN?  I guess I'm not sure what you're doing here.

[georgiejr]

I am at work and trying to access my files.  I tried pinging from outside of my LAN.  when I am home, I am using my brother's laptop with a verizon wireless card (so I am not inside my LAN).

Well, if you can't ping your public IP address, that's a router setting to allow ping responses.
