In FTP Active Mode, FileZilla Server tries to use a port whose value is equal to the ftp port for outgoing connections minus one. If that fails it tries to use a port number that is equal to the ftp port plus one, then it requests a port from Windows. For that reason it might be easier to allow all outgoing connections from the server. Further you have to allow a port range for incoming connections for passive mode transfers. You can specify a port range on the "Passive mode" page in the settings dialog. In most cases, a range like 5000-5100 is sufficient. With certain firewalls, FileZilla Server might not be able to determine the external IP address. In this case you have to enter manually the IP address (or the host name) on the “Passive mode” page in the settings dialog. If you’re using a dynamic IP, you can choose to retrieve the IP address from a website. |

Let's say you want to make your picture collection in D:\mypictures available as /pictures for a specific User or Group. Create the user/group and in the right panel click on the Add button and set the Virtual path to / and the Native path to D:\mypictures. Now the server will display the virtual directory pictures right in the root directory for that user or group and its content will be that of D:\mypictures. | Let's say you want to make your picture collection in D:\mypictures available as /pictures for a specific User or Group.
