ERROR 425 - Windows Firewall issue! [SOLVED]
Posted: 2019-05-29 15:23
Hi all, I'm at the point where I had to register here to find the solution because for the life of me, I can't figure-out the problem. After spending two days trying to figure why my client device cannot upload files to my folder using FZ server, it turns-out that if I completely turn-off Windows Firewall, then all works fine.
I never **ever** played with the firewall and the rules and settings in there are the ones setup by Filezilla at installation time.
In Windows Firweall <inbound rules> there are 4 for FileZilla Server. Our network admin went-in and changed all four FZ firewall rules so that any inbound connection on UDP or TCP will be accepted. Bascially, like this:
Profile: ALL
Enabled: YES
Action: ALLOW
Override: NO
Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla Server\FileZilla Server Interface.exe
Local address: ANY
Remote address: ANY
Protocol: One rule is TCP, the other is UDP
Local port: ANY
Remote port: ANY
Allowed users: ANY
Allowed computers: ANY
Even after applying all those rules to all four FZ entries, it STILL does not let me upload files. I can connect but I just can't upload a file.
But then, if I turn-off Windows firewall, then all works fine!! What is going-on?!
Any help is greatly appreciated because I have no idea what's going-on.
Many thanks.
