Enable internet users to access resources of the FTP server
Scenario: You have set up an FTP server within the LAN of the Mesh device.
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 admin1.
The WAN IP address of Mesh device 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.
Ensure that the WAN IP address of Mesh device is public. This function may not work on a host with a
private IP address. 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 to 172.31.255.255. Private IP addresses of class C range from 192.168.0.0 to
192.168.255.255.
