[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 196971, member: 11094"] If you are familiar with off the shelf routers, they usually have a "Forwarding" or "Application & Gaming" interface to allow inbound traffic from the internet. If you decide to use FTP (unsecure) use port 21. If you decide to use FTP over SSH (secure) use port 22. You can enable the Macs to listen for those requests in the Sharing System Preference. You'll need to allow traffic on whatever port you decide to use in the router. Keep in mind that unless you have a static IP from your ISP that your WAN address could change at anytime leaving you unable to connect. I use DynDNS to update my DynDNS domain name to my WAN IP. It's free and easy. You can use Fugu if you like once the rest of the configuration is complete. I prefer RBrowser but there's plenty of freeware/shareware apps that will get the job done.
