How to Setup an FTP Server on Windows 10

[@mickp10]

Restart PC after setting up if you can't access after setting FTP up. Thank you for the excellent instructions. I couldn't access FTP server until I restarted the PC I set it up on.

[@jeffskinkle1711]

Excellent... excellent instruction. This was very helpful to me. At work the guys on the shop floor have a monitoring program on their fork-lift trucks that will monitor the movement of all the fork-left vehicles at any given time. The software will generate log files and those log files must be FTPed to a folder for analyzing purposes. I followed your instructions on my home personal computer for practice and it work absolutely great the very first time. Now I have to do this on my Windows Server at work. Thank you for the great instruction on this!

I am a Japanese. Your explain was very helpful for me. Thank you🥰

[@boyousif7]

thank you very much .. you saved my life .. too many sites with information but you are the best and the easiest .. keep the good work .

[@jasond.valentine5931]

This video was extremely well explained and ilustrated. May the gods of TCP watch over you kind sir!

[@АлексейМоисеев-л5п]

Video is good, but do not turn off the Firewall. Instead of this go to Advanced settings of the Firewall -> Inbound rules -> New Rule. And add both TCP and UDP rules for your port (21 in my case).

[@gregamos7987]

Great video. It was a little finicky but I got it to work (after a PC restart). Remember to turn your Windows firewall back on once you get the FTP server to work!

[@Mr34edwards]

Excellent instructions. Clear and systematic.

[@mineofilms]

I have been watching videos for 2 days trying to get my FTP accessible from outside networks. i am still not there yet but this video helped the most. I now at the very least have the sign-in screen from my remote (outside) network where it wasn't there before. i can sign-in inside the network easily but not outside of it, yet. I gave you a like and sub because of all the videos I saw this one was the closest at getting what I actually needed thanks.

[@dinogordon493]

Well done this is the first video that made me feel confident enough to try it on my own, Excellent Video!!!

[@rogergrant9878]

This is a very nice video. What a kluge Microsoft has made of something so simple as creating an FTP server and creating a user account.

[@izakk91]

Another simple and informative video, thank you so much

[@networkingroadmap893]

thanks , you have explained each of things with accurate way

[@navedsyed9354]

very nice video in details felt confident in creation

[@pepsi-straw-dog]

It worked! But if you will use this ftp server to connect from another device (ex. cell phone) you will need to add svchoct.exe to Windwos' firewall expection and allow public and private connections in order to work. (C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe)

[@Sam-bn5bb]

Thank you so much for this, after reading about 10 articles on how to do this, none of them mentioned this and remote access finally worked for me.

[@macs-13]

Is it necessary to disable firewall? I never saw you re-enable your firewall?

[@artisthindustani]

Sir, please make a video on how to create a app for android, which automatically sync our folders between android mobile and desktop via wifi or internet

[@RahulPahuja1991]

It saved a Lot of time for me atleast thanks alot

[@sohail_ahmad]

This video is very helpful

[@NoEgg4u]

This was a very informative video. But something is missing, as far as I can tell. When you tested your ftp server, you did so from your local computer. What about having a computer, outside of your network (somewhere out in the world via the internet) to connect to your ftp server? I imagine that you would have to forward port 21 on your router to the IP address of your ftp server. Would that be it? Or would there be another firewall rule needed on your ftp server, that instructs your local machine to accept the ftp connection from some unknown ftp client?

[@HACKER-kr6td]

Hey great video . I just have one question once the FTP server is created can we upload files to this FTP server

[@gregamos7987]

Good question .. the FTP server is great for sharing out files from your PC, but how can one send a file to the locally hosted FTP server?

[@rekhamaryannelouis3696]

[@adildulobu864]

Excellent video. I would like to know if it is possible to have external access to this FTP server?

[@lovingly-yours]

Thank you for the video...I could do it very easily 👍

[@tigerlilly6895]

Thank you, this all seemed to work until you got to Information Services Mgr., which everything shown on your video is there except that. Any advice?

[@tigerlilly6895]

For anyone having this problem, where you don't see the console in the Admin Tools, the reason is you have to have selected management console within the Internet Info Services which is right under the FTP selections.

[@microsoftsarker]

[@mineofilms]

IT friends: I am building an FTP server to be accessed outside the network for someone. I did a test build at my home on my router and got it working where I can access inside/outside the network without any hitches. Pretty straightforward process. However, on the actual FTP server build, I can only access it inside the network and cannot via outside the network. Copying my firewall rules over to this server which is just a windows 10 pro machine, nothing special. It's not a true server but configured as if it was one. Just a simple FTP setup using ISS. I can log-on outside the network only through CMD, I cannot through, Explorer or a web browser. I couldn’t find much on how/what could be the issue if one can access the FTP outside the network through CMD but can’t view explorer/web browser. I need to be able to map this network location on the local client machines which is easy but I cannot gain the access correctly due to this unknown issue. It could be a router issue but I do not believe so as I do have port forwarding setup on it with a static address of the server machine and ports 20, 21, 800 open I did port testing on the ports and those are showing green. I feel like it is something inside windows firewall. However, It is an Xfinity LAN and they use those shitty all-in-one gateway home routers where NAT is controlled by the ISP and port forwarding is very very basic. It doesn’t allow the typical router interface and access UI one would expect to see inside a router config Interface with NAT/DMZ/App Forwarding/Port Forwarding. My question is, what could it be at this point? The only thing I can do that I know would work is replacing the router but if Windows Firewall is the issue, changing routers would just be a big waste of time as that process usually requires me to be on the phone with the ISP to do a router switchout. That takes more time than I am willing to spend on this currently as I have already spent way too much time on this side project. Just to recap. I can sign into the FTP remotely through CMD only, with the credentials. It's signing into it using Windows Explorer/IE that is causing my issue. This is the error message when I try to sign in. Error message windows provides An error occurred opening that folder on the ftp server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder 200 type set to a. (IP address of FTP) Any suggestions???

[@theanimazin]

Do you have to set up another user? I’m having trouble making it work without creating another user. I’m trying to connect my iPhone to my ftp server which is going to be my pc. I know the iOS files app doesn’t support ftp only smb but I just bought a $3 app called ftp manager pro and I don’t like it. Lol Any recommendations for another app? Haha

[@WazzupTTR]

Awesome! Worked perfectly.

[@misscall8199]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@parthparth8680]

GOOD VIDEO AFTER THAT HOW TO TRANSFER FILE/FOLDER FROM OUR LOCATION TO CLIENT LOCATION, FOR THAT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO

[@mohdhisham2494]

Will this effect anyother operations of my computer?

[@ritas1977]

Quite clear, thanks

[@mustafaghoneim468]

thank you, but I have a question, is FTP:// link didn't work on wifi?

[@CopperCettle]

can you change the port number of the ftp server, or does it even have a port number ?

[@unboxllc6055]

Absolutely no brainer tutorial Worked Perfectly and super easy.

[@anjitech1639]

Sir, is it allow other networks also or need to connect to the same network?

[@anjitech1639]

I mean need to connect both users to the same network.

[@ritas1977]

When you make port forwarding and use public IP, it allows other networks

[@relaxingmusics1988]

EXCELLENT !!

[@dhruvgoyal2926]

Very good video.

[@ahmedsaad-lk2og]

Thank

[@succduc]

2:50 for Windows 11 just search for "Windows tools" in your search bar. It is no longer called administrator tools

[@hermenegildoluis9895]

Awesome!

[@parthparth8680]

This is a very nice video

[@Hammersch]

[@fodorbill]

Great video for Windows 10. Although many things are similar, I cannot get it to work in Windows 11.

[@anirudh191]

working in windows 11

[@MrBat000]

Great video! thanks

[@KingEversProduction]

If I do this, am I able to access the files shared in the FTP anywhere in the world? Or is this just a local share?

[@f_x9771]

Amazing video brother, keep up the good work!

[@shahidhussain3169]

can we do role based authentication settings ? like I want to give access to all subdirectories to a user and other users should be able to access only one folder. Is that possible here?

[@VKulikovsky]

I've tried it. But when I enter the address of my ftp, the browser doesn't react at all. Nothing happens. I can't access the server. What may be the problem?

[@shusmitadasgupta2463]

did you find the solution?

[@monikamrozik9303]

I have the same issue. Please let me know if you found solution :)
