Windows 7 firewall

#1 Post by athomeit » 2011-02-03 01:02

My windows 7 firewall is blocking the FTP connections. I'm not sure what to enable. I have port 21 and 15000/15001 (custom port range) fully enabled on both home and public network. With my firewall shut down the FTP works perfectly but I don't want to keep it permanently down. any ideas?

I type in the address and I get the filezilla login. I enter the credentials but it gets hung up once I hit okay

Did you read the Network Configuration guide yet? It explains router and firewall configuration in great detail.

You can test your server for correctness on https://ftptest.net//

I have port 21 and 15000/15001 (custom port range)
Much too few ports, custom port range should have a minimum of 50 ports.
the error message I get is "an error occurred opening that folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have permission. Details: Time out"
Using that crappy IE to connect? Use a real FTP client.
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!
FTP connection problems? Please read Network Configuration.
