What's the best way to run a ftp server to be able to change scripts on your server?
I have been trying to use x lite ftp server, but still can't seem to get my port forwarding working with router so I can access it from out side world, but I can access locally through ftp locally if I type in my local ip address.
Any thoughts on either?

Well, you need open the port in your router. It's simple just google "myrouter port forwarding"

there's no "best way", but the "only way"
you must create the port fowarding rule on your router no matter what FTP server are you using
PS: also a little trick is enable the UPnP setting on your router. If you leave UPnP setting enabled on your router and use an UPnP-compatible FTP server, the FTP server will automatically create the port fowarding rule on your router

yeah I was reading about the upnp. I have to see if my router has the upnp support option.
I did tell my router to port forward 21 to my internal ip but still doesn't work I will have to try messing more around with the upnp and see if I can get that to work.
I know that upnp is built right into the ftp server program im using.

what software does everyone else use for a ftp server?

I do not use any ftp software. I use a git repository and a custom software to deploy.

figured out the problem. it was the anti virus. lol had allow ports to be open and a permission thing with in and out traffic.
