How to allow an FTP server through Windows Firewall
If you have Windows Firewall running on your computer, then the security feature will block any connections trying to access the FTP server. Use the steps below to allow the FTP server through the firewall.

  • 2. Click the Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall link.
  • 1. Click the Changes settings button.
  • 2. Select FTP Server and make sure to allow it on a Private and Public network.

At this point, you should be able to use your favorite FTP client to connect your newly created FTP server from your local network.
Note: Make sure to check your software vendor support website for specific instructions to allow an FTP server, if you're using another security software other than the Windows Firewall.
