Windows 10: Windows 10 Defender blocking FTP connections to FileZilla Server

Hi, I am running Wnidows 10 with a FileZilla Server. I cannot connect to the server when inbound rules are set to default (no rule, no access). If I set inbound rules to "allow", i can connect to the FileZilla Server.

Inbound rules
Name Profile Enabled Action Override Program
FileZilla Server Interface.exe All Yes Allow No FileZilla Server Interface.exe
FTP Server (FTP Traffic-in) Private,Public Yes Allow No svchost.exe
FTP Server Passive (Traffic-in) Private,Public Yes Allow No svchost.exe
FTP Server Secure (SSL Traffic-in) Private,Public Yes Allow No svchost.exe

What could I be missing?

Thanks
Mike

Setting up Filezilla FTP

Verify his avg isn't blocking it, he doesn't need to configure anything in his router if he's just connecting to you and downloading.

FTPS is actually very simple with filezilla, not at home to walk you through it. But if you got this far I'm sure just playing with it you'll figure it out. Hardest part is setting up the generic certificate with filezilla, which is even very easy.

The 425 can't open data connection is the error I get with my current ISP if I try to run a ftp server through the normal ports (20/21). I tried other ports, I can always connect but can never send a list. So I setup filezilla for ftps and it works great as usual.

 

Setting up Filezilla FTP

Yeah, I port forwarded my router for those ranges, and in Filezilla server settings I set the range from 50000-51000 also using a dedicated IP, as my ISP gives me a dedicated. It sucks, I mean, I called him and said ok logon. My avg popped up saying "hey, somethings going on" , so i permanently allowed it. He connected, I saw him in the status box, then I saw him go passive. His client called a LIST, then he got nothing, a time out. How do I go FTPS?

 

Setting up Filezilla FTP

the 50000-51000 you are using for pasv? Did you specify that range in filezilla server as well? After that I'm out of ideas, does your isp block ftp ports/traffic? If so try setting up filezilla for ftps, default port for that is 990.

My current ISP (charter) says they don't block any ports (if that's true they definitely monitor traffic) so I was having your same problem until I setup filezilla for ftps.
The only other time I've seen that with regular ftp is when port 20 isn't specified and pasv range isn't specified.

Other then that I'm out of ideas now.
