area network. However, they are too big, and it's not convenient to physically transfer them.
You can build a FTP server on your computer and set the router's port range forwarding to
give your friends access to these files on your computer. For the purpose of this example,
suppose that your FTP server (or your computer's static IP address) is 192.168.0.10 and
you want your friends to access the server through the default port 21 using the TCP
protocol. You would then perform the following steps:
1. Enter 21 in both the Start port and End port fields. Alternatively, you can select FTP from
the well-known service port list and port 21 will be added to the corresponding fields
automatically.
2. Enter 192.168.0.10 in the LAN IP column.
3. Select Both as the protocol.
4. Check the box under Enable.
5. Click the Ok button to put the rule into effect.
Now, when your friends want to visit the FTP server, they only need to
enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in the address field. Here, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the router's WAN
IP address. For example, when your router's WAN IP address is 172.16.102.89 your friends
need to enter ftp://172.16.102.89:21 in the address field.
NOTE:
If you set the service port of the virtual server to 80, you must set the Web
