Hey Guys,
I got what I assume is a real simple problem for you folks but then again this is my first try in the world of networking/webdev/servers.
The Backstory
So I have a Linux server in my house (runs Fedora 14) that I was using as a FTP server for my friends and I to upload files to when we needed to share stuff. It used to be linked to my dyndns account which pointed my old hostname lucout.homelinux.com to my FTP server for FTP connections.
The Problem
Now that dyndns is no longer offering free accounts I've taken the next step and purchased my own domain (lucout.com) from namecheap.com and want to point my FTP server to that domain.
What I Have Done So Far
I got my namecheap account set up to have A type host records that point to my comcast-given IP address 50.152.XXX.XXX for the @ and www. hostnames. I also have URL forwarding turned on with those settings.
I have ddclient (finally) running on my linux server with the following ddclient.conf file:
I left out most of the default commented lines in the file for simplicity's sake. Currently I can telnet to lucout.com and access my Cisco 800 series router. What I would like to do is set it up so that if I use ftp.lucout.com I can get to my FTP server. I don't know what are the settings I need to change to get this to work. Currently in my router's config I have this:
And 192.168.1.48 is the static IP of my Linux server.
Bonus Points
For future reference I'd like to throw my own web page up on this domain as well. I hear I can do my web hosting through my Linux server as well with the help of Apache. I have that installed already but any tips on how to get my domain to lead to the server and show a web page would be great as well. I think eventually I'll split this into it's own post but couldn't hurt to ask.
I've spent about 2 weeks on this project so far and I feel i've made alot of progress but I could use some pointers so thanks for any help you can give me,
