FileZilla FTP Server

FileZilla Server is a server that supports FTP and FTP over SSL/TLS which provides secure encrypted connections to the server.

FileZilla supports SSL, the same level of encryption supported by your web browser, to protect your data. When using SSL your data is encrypted so that prying eyes cannot see it, and your confidential information is protected. It also supports on-the-fly data compression, which can improve the transfer rates.

Unfortunately, the compression setting can have mixed results, so it is advised to use it with care. It is possible for files that are already compressed to be transferred over the network using more than their original data size.

Support for SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is not implemented in Filezilla Server.

, Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; pvrseree me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. I notice multiple incidents where whole communities in the Bible gathered to pray for safety when they were challenged in some way. And they saw good results. Chief Kern's talk pointed out some hidden kinds of violence, such as trafficking, which is undermining the fabric of community without us being aware of it. This, and drug deals are the main gang activities here. These are the things I am praying to uncover and eliminate before the gang type violence gets a bigger foothold here. I am learning that moral courage comes when selfish timidity is renounced. It becomes easier to pray about these larger issues then. And courage comes from a word that means heart. So when I heart my community, the courage to stand up for good is easier.

Setup on Windows 7 with built-in firewall

After installation, make sure FileZilla Server is registered as allowed programs to the built-in firewall's allowed programs. In the Control Panel, select System and Security. In Windows Firewall section, choose 'Allowed Programs' to open configuration window. Check both private and public network selection for "FileZilla Server" (Not "FileZilla Server Interface". If "FileZilla Server" is not listed, remember to add "C:\Program Files\FileZilla Server\FileZilla server.exe" or wherever it is installed). If private network is not selected, the incoming FTP connection would be blocked.
