Hey Chris:

Thanks for your response.

I am able to run the Abyss WEB server and the Pure-FTPD server with no problem. According to our provider, they say that no ports are blocked.

I assigned a static IP address to the Mini at: 192.168.2.5 as my router is at 192.168.2.1 and I port forwarded port 22 to 192.168.2.5.

Again, thanks all over the place.

Are you sure your ISP allows hosting servers? Some ISP's do not allow hosting servers on residential accounts and block the ports from incoming connections.
You might need a business account in order to host servers.

You do have the mac mini ip address reserved in the router? For example 192.168.1.115 always gets assigned to the Mac mini. your port 22 is port forwarding to port 22 of the mac mini's ip address?

Also look in the settings for the ftp server for something called passive mode and see if that is enabled. That is an option that helps with ftp servers if they are behind routers.



these are just some ideas.

Hi Folks:

I am unable to SFT to my Mac Mini Server. I can perform the task from behind my router; however, I cannot access the server from an external source. I have Port 22 open on the router.

I do have the Mini's server software turned off; but I don't think that that would make a difference since, as I said, I can sftp from behind the router.

Sorry if I'm not making myself clear.
