I added the section on how to set up FileZilla Server under Vista and Windows Firewall. I'm not sure if I put it in the right place or formatted it correctly.

I spent a few hours trying to figure this out and I've found that a lot of people have this same problem. Windows Firewall does not easily allow you to add FileZilla Server since it is a service and not an application, it only (by default) gives you the option to add the interface (which doesn't help in getting people to connect to your server). I'm not sure if this information applies to any other version of Windows Firewall as I have only tried it in Vista.

It would be FAR easier to just disable the useless Windows firewall. All problems solved. --CodeSquid 10:52, 16 October 2007 (CEST)
I agree, however there are people out there who insist on having it. Also there are people who don't know much about PCs and don't like it when that stupid icon pops up and warns them that it's disabled and their pc could be in danger (this was my problem, setting up an ftp on an inexperienced user's pc). Doesn't hurt to have the instructions I hope :) --Ashsagoon 07:10, 17 October 2007 (CEST)
