What I am trying to do is create an FTP server for a limited number of family members to access to download files from anywhere.
First time using Filezilla Server. Installing on a desktop with 8 tb of drive space and plenty of ram and a 6 core CPU. I have spent a week reading everything I can find on the various issues that have popped up but there is on issue I cannot fix and hope someone here may be able to help. Other solutions have not worked. I am probably doing something incorrect. The router is a Nighthawk x4.
I will go through exactly what I have done so far and maybe someone can identify my error(s).
Installed Filezilla Server
Setup settings according to the way I have read the instructions numerous times. These are the setting I input.
1st time settings.
* Listen in on Port 50000-50100
Passive:
* Checked use Custom Port Range. 50000-50100
* Checked Use the following IP Address and Input public IP address
* Checked don't use external IP for local connections
* Port on which the admin should listen- Default 14147
* Checked Enable FTP over TLS support
* Explicit and Implicit allow FTP over TLS
* Listening Port for FTP over TLS - Default (990)
* Force Prot P is checked
* Resume TLS is checked
On the router I enabled FTP and Port Forwarded 20-21 (They are forwarded by default when FTP is enabled)
I also port forwarded 50000-50100. DDNS is on. Desktop shows up in access controls and attached devices as allowed. Use Router as DHCP server is enabled and
My first result was a connection to the local host. Waiting for authentication. Logged on.
I was able to create a folder on the local machine and add it then attach a (test) user to the folder.
Running a test on Ftptest.net on the local machine the session kept timing out. I disabled all firewalls and it still timed out. I then (with disabled firewalls) and SIP ALG disabled ran another FTP Test and got the same result. Timed out.
Although I can see the machine the server is on through my router from an outside computer, I am unable to access the folder or the server either from FTP (Local) or FTP (Internet), both are enabled in the router.
I then changed the custom port range and listen in port range from 50000-50100 to 20-21.
Then doing an FTP Test the error was "Connection Refused".
Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.
