setup filezilla server windows server 2008 r2

I guess there is something up with the Firewall / router at the data centre in Germany. I then tried again from our remote server in Germany and it failed, hangs on the directory listing in passive mode for both IIS FTP and FileZilla.

So I installed the FTP server in IIS 7.5, disabled FileZilla and it worked! I then tried re-enabling FileZilla and that too worked! This was all from my home ADSL connection. When I specify the external IP the client and server report the same, but the ports get screwed up and when I run with default the server uses its internal IP but the port assignment looks better. If I change the FileZilla passive mode setting from our external IP to Default, I get the following details from the client in Germany trying to connect. The status window on FileZilla server reports the following (not logged in) (87.106.131.22)> Connected, sending welcome message.

Response: 425 Can't open data connection.Įrror: Failed to retrieve directory listing Response: 331 Password required for ftp_001471 Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message. In FileZilla server, under passive mode settings (I can't post an image so.) Use the following IP: 213.106.150.123ĭon't use external IP from local connections: Checkedįrom a remote server in Germany which I RDP into I try connecting back to the FileZilla server.
