Unable to transmit FTP server.
Unable to transmit FTP server.
Hello, I'm trying to set up an FTP server using IIS on Windows 10 for myself and a few friends. It works inside the local network but not outside it. I've followed every tutorial I found, but none of them solved the issue. I checked other forums, but no one could assist me. Could someone here help? I'm not looking to scam anyone—I just need your guidance. Thank you!
Open port 21 through your firewall for internet access. If the device is routed, forward the port from the router to your Windows system. Share your external IP with others unless you use dynamic DNS. Keep in mind FTP lacks strong security; consider FTPS instead of SFTP. Your ISP might block the port because they prefer non-commercial hosting and want to prevent accidental exposure.
Windows 10 needs to handle that feature built-in now: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...l_firstuse
If it runs OpenSSH by default, he can try it; otherwise, consider Windows compatibility. Suggest using public/private key auth and avoid port 22. Opt for a random port above 30,000 that isn’t in use. Don’t trust this advice. PuTTY, WinSCP, or FileZilla would work best.
