Port 21(every router is different so try googling how to do this). Now try to connect through localhost using an FTP client. Is selected and that you have a password set up.Ĭhanges.

Click add, name the account(this will be your.

now go to shared folders and select theįolder(s) you want this group to access along with what permissions.

When it asks for what server leave it at default(host is 127.0.0.1 Little confusing to understand but if you need help setting up an ftp servers, heres how:ĭownload and install Filezilla server(assuming this is done) Please help (I assume what im trying to ftp doesnt make a difference?) I have looked at a few tutorials but as it is such a straight forward job none seem to address my issue. In short can someone please direct me to an idiots guide to FTP'ing, I know it should be quite straight-forward, but i'm really struggling. I have gone onto my provider and tried to find the port but cant seem to find the port they use for anything other than the emails, that was 25 and that is when i get the Connected, waiting for authentication message. When I try to connect to a remote host I keep receiving errors saying maybe the port is incorrect or 'Connected, waiting for authentication', I cannot leave the port option blank, I have tried 20, 21, 25, 80, 8080, 14147 and a couple of random ones after getting frustrated. I had connected it to localhost without any problems apart from it not showing the files that are stored in my htdocs folder (I had a look to see if i needed to direct to the folder but couldn't find anything to say that it was necessary) the port number for that was 14147. I am using Filezilla and the above are the only information it requests. (port)I have assumed the port is 20 or 21 (server address)I have got my ftp address Its been so long since i've needed to ftp something I seem to have forgotten how to do it.

Filezilla port number wrong 1 to 64000
