Hey guys,
I just followed master G's wonderful tutorial on to set up remote access to my box, heres what i done:
I changed the port in webif to XXXXXX on my vu+ and enabled authentication
I also added a password via telnet and left username at "root"
I then went into my router config page and forwarded the port XXXXXX to 192.168.1.17 (my vu+ ip)
I have a static IP so didn't need to go down the dyndns route.
When i connect to an external wifi network and type xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:XXXXX I'm asked for a username and password, when i enter this, i can access the vu+ webif
However when I open filezilla from an external wifi network and enter:
host: my static ip
username: root
password: my password
port xxxxxxx
filezilla just says "connection established, waiting for welcome message"
Then it hangs for a while and eventually times out.
I can access my box via filezilla on my own home network but just not remotely which is what i want to do
any ideas guys?
Cheers
Alan
