I was having problems with my internet so my isp (verizon) reset my ip address (external) and now I can't get into my ftp from my external ip but I can get into it from my home network and I was able to get into it before my isp reset my ip so I'm confused about wat happened
if anybody has any ideas they would be appreciated

Are you trying to access it from your new external IP?

Hmmmmm! Did your ISP reset your router when they changed your IP? Possibly erasing your port forwarding rule?

How can they reset your router?

seriously...

The forwarding you use has not been updated. When you get home go to whatismyip.com and use that. If you have a client which should be updating your ip, check to make sure it is still on.

Forwarding is bound to a MAC address or an internal private IP address, which most likely doesn't change at all. The external IP is the only one that changed, so it should still work.

I suggest you look into www.dyndns.org and run that software on your FTP and then add that info into your router if it supports it.
