IIS FTP firewall issue

hevent_orizon

Hello,

I have a small issue with BD firewall. I cannot find where/how BD blocks the FTP process/service, it only works by disable the firewall entirely. I am aware that opening a port is not very safe but I need to do it for some tests etc. I have found similar discussion about the same issue but seems quite old and doesn't works anymore by adding the exception to explorer process. Anybody got idea how to disable the Firewall only for the system FTP service?

Thank you!

Yes disabling the firewall can access the server. Since there is no internet explorer anymore but Edge I suppose you're talking about internet properties from control panel where I can uncheck the passive FTP. In any case I'm not sure how to set Windows Explorer traffic on FTP, unless that means to allow permission for "explorer.exe" when creating a rule and set the protocol to "any" since there is no FTP in the list.
