Check Firewall Rules to Allow inbound FTP Traffic

After installation of FTP Server make sure that there are Inbound firewall rules in place to allow inbound FTP traffic. To check this follow below steps:
Click Start >> Administrative Tools >> Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and then click on Inbound Rules and check if three inbound firewall rules exists as highlighted in below snapshot.
  1. FTP Server (FTP Traffic-In): This rule allows inbound traffic on TCP port 21 for FTP Service.
  2. FTP Server Passive (FTP Passive Traffic-In): This rule allows inbound traffic on TCP ports greater than 1023 for FTP Service. This is required for FTP Service to work in passive mode.
  3. FTP Server Secure (FTP SSL Traffic-In): This rule allows inbound traffic on TCP port 990 for FTP Service over SSL.
If these rules doesn’t exists then create them.
