Port forwarding in windows
Port forwarding in windows
Your modem uses a private IP address within the 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 range. Which model are you having?
Windows firewall is built to function on public networks, with the Internet being a larger version. It’s not as secure as a router, but it’s better than nothing—provided the firewall is active and the network appears public, which it likely does—hence FTP is blocked. If not, allowing dial-up and PPPoE connections would be reckless. Simply enabling the FTP server in the firewall should grant access, though FTP remains insecure and usage should be justified.
Ensure the FTP server is active on the Windows device, then configure the firewall to allow the necessary port. Exercise extreme care with FTP since any credentials entered are transmitted without encryption across the network.
