Re: How can I setup ftp server in Vista Home Premium?

Port 20 and Port 21 One is for sending information and the other is to
receive these are the standard ports for ftp. I do not know what SFTP port
is but you can google search it or on technet2.microsoft.com for key words
ftp port and it will give you the information for all 1024 standard ports.
but keep in mind if your application is asking for a different port and you
open these two you may need to adjust the firewall or leave the firewall off
if it is local but if it is on the internet your ip will probably be dynamic
in which case it will have a default 8 day static then change but you would
type ftp://ftp.ipaddress:portnumber of leave it out if it doesn't owrk..ll
Good luck, hope this helps

Hi,

I'm running windows business and activated the FTP server just as you
say but it didn't worked... I mean, it installed the server but the
server isn't working.

I can access the server from my computer but not from any other
machine. I figured this was some problem with firewall so I openned
port 21 (just really activated the rule, it was already there). I now
get an error every time I try to access the server (425 can't open
data connection). Any sugestion to solve this?

Daniel Antunes

sounds like the old active/passive ftp problem. in one mode ftp requires 2
ports, 20/21 or is it 21/22?? one port makes the connection, the other
passes the data. i don't remember which is which off hand, morning caffiene
not working yet i guess. try to either switch modes on your client or open
the other port on the server.
