Possible to FTP into 2 machines behind a router?

jester77 · 2008-05-21 09:40:36

I'm after sticking a second NAS server on the network at home, both of them have an FTP server. At the moment the router has port 21 open pointing to the first server. How would I go about enabling FTP access to the second server?

Set the ftp server on the second server to a different port (eg 9000, something easy to remember).

Then forward this port to that computer.

edit the NAT table on the router to port forward to a different port on the second server , you will also need to configure the server to use this port.

Edit: snap lol
