ok i have two computers i want to connect to each other over the net. one is behind a firewall i cant control, and the other isnt. i want to be able to connect as a client TO the computer behind the firewall FROM the unfirewalled computer. the purpose of the connection is just simply to upload and dl some files, like ftp. is there a way i can set up an ftp (or similar) server on the firewalled computer but initiate the connection from the server --> client instead of client --> server? it wont work of course from client to server because of the firewall... does anyone know of any programs that would do this?
