Once installed (accept the defaults, letting FileZilla run as a Windows service) you can start configuring it for PASSIVE mode transfers and TLS.Īs you could see, the installation sets port 21 as default listening port for FTP. Well there are many documents explaining it, however, as usual I am going one step ahead and explain few elements those are missed by most of those posts. Sounds like it'd be about the right order too.Today we will see how to setup FileZilla FTP server with TLS. Try to ftp into the system from a machine external to your lan.

Make sure the correct ports are forwarded from the SOHO NAT box.

ftp to the filezilla machine from another machine on the local lan.

My original troubleshooting is still mostly applicable. Passive mode settings: Someone else mentioned PASV, this is where you would fiddle with that. IP bindings: My fresh install has '*', so my above assumptions were definitely wrong. General settings: Listen on these ports: 21 is default, if you haven't changed this then you're fine. 14147 does not appear to be the port you need to connect to to access the server. Lastly, try it from a machine outside of your network (get a friend to help if you have to).ĮDIT: Ok, that seems retarded. Then change the IP address it binds to to the 192.168 address and try it from a second machine on the same network (behind the router). If you want to provide access to people outside of that machine, you will need to set it to the IP address of the computer filezilla is running on (192.168.1.101 - which is probably a dhcp address, so unless you only have 1 machine using dhcp it may change). It's for applications on a machine to talk to other applications on the same machine. The address you are using (127.0.0.1) is a loopback address.
