To start, you’ll need to download FileZilla server, availablehere.
After downloading the program, you might install it with all of the default prefs.
Once installation is complete, the FileZilla interface will open.
In this tutorial, we are going to use the folder ‘FTP’ on our desktop.
Its exact location will be “C:\Users\geek\Desktop\FTP”.
select Edit and then Users.
On the left side of the window that comes up, choose “Shared folders.”
Once there, choose “Add” underneath “Users.”
Click OK. Now we need to assign the user permissions for this repository.
Click OK once you’re done setting the user permissions.
Hackers will constantly scan the internet for hosts listening on port 21, the default FTP port.
Go to Edit and then tweaks.
Under “General tweaks” you’ll see “Listen on these ports.”
This doesn’t necessarilysecureyour server, but it obscures it and makes it harder to find.
Under Edit > controls, select “IP Filter.”
In the first box, put an asterisk to block all IP’s from connecting to your server.
If you have Windows Firewall enabled, you’ll need to add an exception for the port.
Click next three times after entering your port number.
The “Add online grid Location” wizard will appear, click next twice.
Enter the IP address and port of your FTP server, and click next.
Uncheck “Log on anonymously” and enter the username you have configured for your FTP server.
Click next twice and then click finish.
