[G4] FTP via Airport Extreme

[Jim Pacyga]

Then set up your Airport Extreme base station to perform the port forwarding as I described in the original email.

Once you do that, you should be able to do this from your local or remote machine:

% ftp 64.x.x.x (where IP is your externally reported IP)

and you should end up getting to your G4 733 ftp server...but again beware and use a secure server.

No. It works like this.
Cable Modem----->Airport Extreme----->Netgear router
