In order to successfully access your FTP server, you will need to have a basic understanding of private and public IP addressing, firewall rules and port forwarding / NAT (Network Address Translation). You will need to have a static IP address applied to the computer you plan on installing your server on, a static public IP address from your ISP or a dynamic DNS and also have access to your router console interface. When applying a static IP address, it is always best practice to do this at your DHCP server (Usually your router for home users or Domain Controller in more advanced network setups), as applying a static IP address in the network properties on the FTP servers computer can lead to lease conflicts in the event of a power cycle on either the DHCP server or the FTP server, leaving your FTP server with an IP address of 169.254.x.x.
