You will notice a green circle on the left if the service is already running, as was the case on our computer:

On the General tab, in the Service to protect field, choose the FileZilla windows service, called FileZilla Server FTP server. Select Protector > Add to open the Add Protector window: If the client initially connects with the IP of the machine, say 10.x.x.x for example, the IP address returned with the 227 response must also be 10.x.x.x.įileZilla must somehow be more forgiving.To monitor the FileZilla Windows Service with Service Protector:ĭownload install, and configure FileZilla server, if necessary. However, the address returned with the result must still be 127.0.0.1 (using the above as an example). This is not to say that the passive port can't be opened with IPAddress.Any - it can: var listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 0) (which resolves to 127.0.0.1), the IP address provided with the PASV response MUST be 127.0.0.1 - otherwise, Windows Explorer will error. In other words, if the client connects using ftp://localhost The IP address supplied as part of the 227 response must be identical to the address of the FTP site the client initially connected. Instead, the problem is related to the strictness of Windows Explorer.

Windows explorer hangs up FTP connection after PASV commandīut I tried opening the passive port ahead of time and it didn't help. Originally, I thought the problem might be related to Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I open the TCP listener before returning a response from the PASV command, so I don't think it's a question of timing. I found this ( ) update and installed it, but it didn't help. The details that follow are the last two responses it received from the server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder". I can log in successfully, but when Explorer sends the PASV command (see client/server exchange below) Explorer pops up a message box that says "FTP Folder Error", "An error occurred opening that folder on the FTP Server. The problem comes in when attempting to connect via Windows Explorer. I can connect to it using both FileZilla and FtpUse, establish PASV mode, and browse the contents of folders just fine. I am running both the client and server on the same Windows 7 machine, and my firewall is entirely disabled.
