Questions about the Address item of FileZilla Server (ver 1.1.0)

#1 Post by maru » 2021-11-23 07:53

Hello.

I am currently testing the new FileZilla Server (ver 1.1.0).
Please forgive my lack of study.
In the FTP Server screen of FileZilla Server, "0.0.0.0" is set in the Address part by default. What does this mean?
(What should I enter in the Address text box?)
Also, the Address part of the second item has two colons as the default setting, such as "::". What does that mean?

0.0.0.0 is a special IPv4 address. When listening on a port, binding to 0.0.0.0 means listening on all interfaces.

:: is the short form of 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000, which is the IPv6 address with the same meaning as 0.0.0.0


To listen on only a specific interface, enter the IP address(es) of that interface instead of the catch-all addresses.
