ftp filezilla server setup
I've been working on getting my FileZilla server up and running for a while now. I can access it on the local network, but not from outside. Yes, I've forwarded the ports, and FileZilla says it's connected, though it keeps showing the error: 425 Can't open data connection for transfer of "/" (which is my desktop folder). Please let me know if you need any assistance!
The issue you're encountering stems from the PASV port range not being accessible. You can adjust this setting in the FileZilla Server configuration by entering 45000 to 45100, and also forward those ports through your router to the FTP server. Without enabling FTP inspection (which residential routers typically ignore), the system won't be able to open the PASV port ranges. When you access via Port 21, the FileZilla server will display a dynamic list of PASV port ranges if they weren't defined in the config. This approach doesn't function behind a NAT with firewalls that don't inspect FTP traffic. Instead, manually set the PASV port range and forward those ports, which should resolve the problem. Also verify that your Windows Firewall permits the PASV port range.
