Scenario: You have set up a FTP server within the LAN of the router.
Goal: Open the FTP server to internet users and enable them to access the resources of the FTP
server from the internet.
Solution: You can configure the PPTP server function to reach the goal. Assume that:
− The user name and password that the PPTP server assigns to the client are both

− The WAN IP address of router is 113.88.112.220.
− The IP address of the FTP server is 192.168.0.136.
− The FTP server port is 21.
− The FTP login user name and password are both: JohnDoe
Please ensure the WAN IP address of router is a public network. This function may not work on a host
with an IP address of a private network. Common IPv4 addresses are classified into class A, class B and
class C. Private IP addresses of class A range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255; Private IP addresses of
class B range from 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255; Private IP addresses of class C range from 192.168.0.0-
