Two questions about the FileZilla Server

#1 Post by maru » 2021-11-22 07:02

Hello.

I am currently connected to the internet via a router at my company.
This time, I installed FileZilla Server on a Windows 10 PC (Computer name is PC-A) in the company's local area network(private network).
I plan to set "port forwarding" on the router to connect to the company's FileZilla Server from the outside.

I have a question about the FileZilla Server Option FTP over TLS settings.
What should I enter in the "Common name (Server address)" text box when I click the "Generate new certificate" button?
As an example, if the WAN IP address of the router is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the LAN IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1 and the IP address (private IP address) of FileZilla Server is 192.168.0.10, what should I enter?
By the way, the WAN IP address is fixed. Also, I have not obtained a domain name.

Is it xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to enter in the "Common name (Server address)" text box?
Or is it 192.168.0.1, PC-A, 192.168.0.10, or localhost? Or is it something other than these?

Another question is, can FileZilla Server be installed and used on Windows 11?

Thank you very much.

FileZilla Server asks for:

- Distinguished name - Name and company details, can be left blank.

- Hostname(s) - Enter the URLs and/or IPs the server will be available under, separated by blanks. For allowing internal and external access, enter both the WAN and LAN address here. Don't forget IPv6 addresses if any.


Note that there is no support and thus no help for the old 0.x Server, anymore.

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I haven't studied enough, but my question was how to enter in the "Common Name (Server Address)" field on the screen that appears when you press the "Generate New Certificate ..." button.
The version of FileZilla Server is the old version (0.9.60 beta).
Are Distinguished Name and Hostname related to the above fields?

Thank you very much.

You need to update to the most recent version of FileZilla Server. 0.9.60 is outdated and not supported anymore.
