In the Windows Firewall section, choose 'Allowed Programs' to open configuration window. Check both private and public network selection for "FileZilla Server" (Not "FileZilla Server Interface".

Wizard
To simplify the network configuration process FileZilla Server provides a wizard that can be started from the Administration interface by selecting Server › Start a guided configuration of the network menu item. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully, as you’ll need to properly configure any router and firewall you might have. The wizard dialog window asks you to set the range of ports, then you need to set on the NAT device the appropriate port forwarding rules accordingly. FileZilla Server's wizard then asks you to set either the public IP or its hostname. Eventually all the settings are shown in the final dialog window, check them and if you wish use our online FTP client tester to check if everything works.
