I download FileZilla Server from and I wanted to install it on my Windows Server 2008. I did a basic install, created a user and set a directory for the user. When I tried to access it via the FileZilla client I noticed I could not connect to the FileZilla server. Troubleshooting led to the Windows firewall being the root cause. In this article I will show you how to configure Windows Firewall to allow FileZilla Server. FileZilla is free, easy to install and use, and its recommended by PMACS. You can apply this same method for other network services you want to use with Windows Firewall because we are going to set the firewall rules by the application and not by the port. Any client that supports SFTP (SSH FTP) can be used to access the server, but.
Open "Windows Firewall" from Administrative Tools and select "New Rule"īrowse to C:\Program Files\FileZilla Server\ and select "FileZilla server.exe". You can apply this method for almost any program that is having issues connecting through Windows Firewall. The key to configuring Windows Firewall is selecting the right EXE to allow. Sometimes the only way to find the right EXE is trial and error. Select "Allow the connection", and then press "Next" to continue Verify that the correct EXE is in the path location and press "Next" to continue If I would have selected “FileZilla Server Interface.exe” instead of “FileZilla server.exe” it probably would not have allowed the connection. Select Domain, Private and Public then press "Next".
