Hi

It is the vsftpd server that is installed. The machine is connected to a
switch and the switch to a DSL modem. IP addresses are assigned
automatically and the IP address from the ISP is not fixed.

Kind regards

Massimo Gatta

Hallo Massimo,

with an dynamic IP you need an additional service which register your IP's and make the server under a name available. One service is www.dyndns.org
the service description is available on
http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/
a possible linux client is on

For DynDNS, ddclient is already available:
http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/08/updating-dynamic-ip-address-automatically/

You can install it from the ubuntu repositories by doing a

$sudo apt-get install ddclient

and configure it as neccessary. If you can’t find the public IP address, then you can have ddclient check your public IP address from the web by editing /etc/ddclient.conf and making it use the web by saying:

use = web
