The best way to ensure people are able to reach your FTP server on a dynamic IP address is through usage of a dynamic DNS service. A dynamic DNS service maps a static domain name to a dynamic IP address to ensure the domain name always routes to the current address of your computer. Serv-U supports the usage of dynamic DNS services. Knowledge Base Article #1242 will walk you through the configuration process. For more information on the DNS4Me dynamic DNS service, including how to sign-up for a free 30-day trial or register for free service, please visit http://www.DNS4Me.com/.
