If you're running FileZilla 3, it's recommended you run the network configuration wizard. It will guide you through the necessary steps and can test your configuration after set-up. Obviously, if you want to connect to any server, you need to tell your firewall that FileZilla should be allowed to open connections to other servers. Most normal FTP s...
Setting up the server is very similar to setting up the client, with the main difference being that the roles of active and passive mode are reversed. A common mistake, especially by users with NAT routers, is in testing the server. If you are within your local network, you can only test using the local IP address of the server. Using the external ...
The following are a few troubleshooting suggestions: Unfortunately, many personal firewalls and consumer routers are flawed or in some cases, even actively sabotage FTP (e.g. SMC Barricade V1.2). First of all, as with all software, you should keep everything updated. This includes the firewall software as well as the firmware version of your router...

There are two connection modes on FTP: Active Mode and Passive Mode. Here's a brief explanation of this two modes: Active Mode: 1. Client connects to port 21 of server (Command Channel) 2. Server connects FROM port 20 to a port specified by the client (DATA) Passive Mode: 1. Client connects to port 21 of server (Command Channel) 2.

If you can see FTP connection logs from outside, but users from outside failed to get the directory list, then there is something wrong with the port forwarding setting for passive mode port ranges. Inside the FTP logs, find the FTP server's response after the client sends the PASV command.
