Windows 10 Defender blocking FTP connections to FileZilla Server

Hi, I am running Wnidows 10 with a FileZilla Server. I cannot connect to the server when inbound rules are set to default (no rule, no access). If I set inbound rules to "allow", i can connect to the FileZilla Server.

Inbound rules
Name Profile Enabled Action Override Program
FileZilla Server Interface.exe All Yes Allow No FileZilla Server Interface.exe
FTP Server (FTP Traffic-in) Private,Public Yes Allow No svchost.exe
FTP Server Passive (Traffic-in) Private,Public Yes Allow No svchost.exe
FTP Server Secure (SSL Traffic-in) Private,Public Yes Allow No svchost.exe

What could I be missing?

Thanks
Mike

Hey mikenyc,
IIRC ... Those three FTP Server inbound rules are for IIS FTP, which use ports 20,21 and if you're using the same ports for FileZilla, that might be what's causing the issue. If you have't already, try using a custom port range for FileZilla.

Note:
1. I use FileZilla FTP Server and the only inbound rule i have is ....
FileZilla FTP Server Private Yes Allow No %ProgramFiles% (x86)\FileZilla Server\FileZilla Server.exe
2. I use a high custom port range (example: 51000-51005)
3. I don't have IIS FTP installed.

Eagle51,
Then how is it working when I take down Defender for the public domain? Or if I change the default for inbound by make inbound always work.

My client is using port 21. So if there is a conflict with IIS FTP, wouldn't it still block Filezinna with Defender off for public domain?

There are 3 types of connection for FTP each use different ports what are the type settings your using? http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
