1. Launch the configuration program for your router. In our case, it is web-based so we used our browser.
2. Open the section that is used to configure the Port Forwarding features of your router.
3. Forward Port 21 over to your Win FTP Server at IP 192.168.1.123.
4. Also forward the PASV Port Range specified in Step 1 to 192.168.1.123. This is necessary so that when the FTP client issues a PASV mode command to the WinFtp server, the FTP client can successfully open the data channel to the server.
5. If you have Implicit SSL enabled on your WinFTP Server, you will want to forward Port 990 over to 192.168.1.123 also.
6. Save the new router configuration and Reboot your router. You may need to physically recycle the power on your router to do this.
