ok, here is the deal.
2 computers:
1= 192.168.0.101 (Win XP) running serv-U ftp at port 2121
2= 192.168.0.103 (Vista) running serv-U at port 2100
serv-U and router allowing to connect via UPnP.
In windows explorer:
typing
ftp://62.x.x.x:2121 allows me to connect to computer 1 on both comp 1
and 2
typing
ftp://62.x.x.x:2100 DOES NOT allow me to connect on either machines,
as if I do not have access to the folders.
A connection appears to be established (windows defender in Vista shows
TCP 192.168.0.103:2100 192.168.0.1:1320 ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.0.103:2100 192.168.0.1:1321 ESTABLISHED
In serv-U can see this:

192.168.0.103)

The SmartFTP client doesn't allow me to access either 1 or 2 on comp 2 (Vista)
