Cada, If you have a router or a firewall, you must forward the appropriate ports (usually ports 21 and 22) to your machine. You might want to have your friends use a real ftp client (I like FileZilla - www.sourceforce.net and do a search for FileZilla), and try toggle-ing the passive mode check box. That sometimes does the trick. If you are using Win2k, like I do, I've found it easier to just use Win2k's built in ftp server. you can find the instructions for the Win2k thing on Microsoft's website.
