This page from my other website may help you to set up the software. Install it as you would any other program and login to the FileZilla interface on localhost/127.0.0.1. p_id=21558 and download the FileZilla FTP Server software.
If it is windows firewall then it is very simple to set up and it is mostly self explanatory. You can find out how to do this in the help section of your software. You will need to configure your software to allow the ports 21 and any ports you set up for passive mode on your FTP server.
The answer to this one is likely to be yes, so we need to set it up to allow the FTP connections. You need to forward port 21 at the least and also some other ports for Passive Mode on the FTP server when we install it. You can find out how in the manual or you can go to and find your router there.
You will need to logon to your router to do this step. If you have no router move on to the next step, but if you do, complete this step. If you have a router then you will need to setup a feature known as port forwarding. If it doesnt mention anything it is usually safe to assume they do not mind the running of servers providing you keep within their AUP conditions. Look in the TOS/AUP on their site to see if it mentions anything about it. Something else you should know before running a server is if your ISP allows the running of servers. Once you know your broadband speed and bandwidth limits, move on to step 2. Without it you can quickly use up your monthly allowance, and you may even be faced with a large overage bill if you go over the limit.
You also need an unlimited download package. Idealy you need an upload of 386Kbps or higher to have a good chance of success running your own server. To find out what your upload speed is, you should either ask your ISP, or do a speedtest from It might be worth doing several tests from different locations to get an average result. The faster the upload is the better, and 99% of the time it is a lot lower than your download speed. A slow 256Kbps download and 128Kbps upload connection will not do the job. Step 1 - Know your broadband speed and bandwidth limits.īefore you even think of setting up an FTP server, you need to know if your broadband is up to the job.
