Hi

I've got a network drive (192.168.1.104) on my local network. What do I
need to do to access it from work (could be through a web browser or
ftp). I created an ftp user on the drive.

It's easy to access it from other computers on my local network, just ftp
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, but how can I do it from work or elsewhere. The bit I
don't understand is the fact that here I've got 2 IPs my external IP and
the internal IP of the drive (192.168.1.104)

thank you very much for any help

regards

Between your machine with the network drive and the internet you have a
router. You need to log into your router and tell it to forward ftp
connections to your 192.168.1.104 machine (look for "Port Forwarding").
