It makes sense, but it does work fine with both of them set the same.
No, it does not. While the normal listening port is set correctly, setting the implicit FTPS fails, so it is not online.
Well, which one should I use? I simply want a good SSL security method.
I recommend to clear the implicit FTPS port field. The best TLS option is using explicit FTPES. Explicit connections use the normal listening port to connect and then switch to TLS/SSL via the AUTH TLS command. So I'd go with explicit.

Sounds good to me, thanks!

I get "creating listen socket on port(whatever)"
"failed to create listen socket on port (whatever) for IPv6"
"server online"


The server doesn't work.
IIS isn't taking up port 21, filezilla server (the one i want) is.
I tried on my other comp and the server just went, but on the wrong computer, i want it on the server.

Looks like you're using a firewall or security tool blocking local ports from being used.

i made sure it was unblocked through the firewall(add port number and filezilla server unblocked) it hasn't fixed the problem :( . Haven't restarted, so if it needs a restart then that might be the problem... anything else that might be the problem?

ok, as far as that goes, it still fails to create listen port socket, but i can connect to it... but it can't open the data link, and the directory listing fails, so i can't use it

What OS you are on? The IPv6 is only available for XPSP2 and up (after manually running the ''netsh interface ipv6 install'' command) or Vista/7. As long as the IPv4 address works, the server is accessible.

For the problems with data connections, please configure your server and network for Passive mode, according to the Network Configuration guide.

Running it in a command line is enough. It should display an ''OK'' response as confirmation.

ok, the listen socket error has gone, but i still can't open the data connection, so i can't do anything with it.
Is this the passive mode settings? as i haven't really touched them since install, if it could be i will post screenshot of them, so i can get help.

Yes, you must configure the server and your network for FTP Passive operation. Refer to the Network Configuration guide.

(10.10.2.93) is my external ip that i want to use
It's not you to decide what to use for the public IP. The public IP is assigned by your ISP. 10.10.2.93 falls into the class A private IP range 10/8 and can therefore never be public (it is simply invalid outside your network).

As for the public IP, you are probably using a dynamic (regularly changing) one. Thus, it is best to simply tick the ''Retrieve external IP from:'' box and leave the contents of the input field untouched. FZ Server will get the IP itself, then, using a special website set up by the FileZilla developer.

Note there's more you have to do. You must define a custom port range for Passive mode. This TCP range must be forwarded in your router, along with the listening port or ports (21 and/or 990 for FTPS).

All explained in Network Configuration.
