Accessing FTP server provided by ISP via router

Uuzumakii Naaruto · May 12, 2014

I bought a Dlink router a few days ago. I cannot access the FTP server provided by the ISP. They are telling me I should have bought a TPlink router. Is there any possible way round ?

Thanks in advance

Your router should not matter for connecting to an ftp server. Are you using an ftp client program like filezilla or just trying to access it via the browser?

Trying to connect via the browser. My ISP is saying that they are using tplink router to host their server so I cannot get access to it unless mine is TPLink too.

Let me explain the whole thing :

I used to download from the ISP's local server through LAN. Then I bought the router and connected the ethernet cable to the WAN port . And everything messed up. I am not sure if my ISP is good at networking and stuff like this

What did you do in order to connect to the ISPs FTP server?

Are you accessing an FTP server hosted by your ISP, or are you accessing your files at home via FTP from a remote connection?

TP-Link has USB ports that alllow you to setup an FTP server for it, but should be able to configure your computer to connect no matter what router model it is.

I was accessing an FTP server hosted by my ISP. Can you tell me what I need to do to connect to the FTP server . I am using PPPoE connection

Unless the is some specialty configuration that tp-link has, there is no reason why it would only work with tp-link routers.

Do you have an ip address, a username, password and port number of the ftp server. You should be able to use an ftp client program to access the server.

I never used a user name or password to access the ftp server and *sigh* I don't have a port number. But is it similar to my internet's username password ? I have an IP address I think

The default ftp port is port 21, your username password could be the same as your ISP username/password.

The IP address (or url) is whatever you put into the browser.

Nope nothing happens :/ . I think its on their end . I have to buy another one I guess

Nothing happens when you try what???

We have not talked about doing anything yet, I have just been trying to get background info.

Tell me what the steps are you usually take to access your ftp server, and what address you type into the browser.

boosted1g :

I used to type this IP in the browser "http://10.114.200.11/" . I never used any password and it does not need you to register an account.

I tried to access the ftp using filezilla but it could not connect. Now I am confused because of the http marker before it. Is it really an ftp server ? :??:

And to get it straight I am using a connection from their LAN to my router's WAN right ? Does it have anything to do with it ? Does it cancel high speed file sharing I used to do via LAN ?

Again when I am at the router's page there is a field called IP address in the ISP page which is set to 0.0.0.0. And I have tried forwarding TCP port 21 for my pc's IP but nothing happens too
