I created an azure vm and installed filezilla server to it. I could not get list of my directory. I search to serverfault and i find i must set an end point for port 6000 and allow this port in windows firewall, and in filezilla server I must use a custom range in pas if mode to 6000-6000 I set these in filezilla server and restart my vm and after restart I don't find problem and I could get my directory listing but after 2 days, when I worked via ftp, I get error : 

Response:   227 Entering Passive Mode (100,76,182,65,23,112)
Command:    MLSD
Response:   425 Can't open data connection for transfer of "/"
Error:      Failed to retrieve directory listing

And now, I can not work with ftp for directory listing and i restart my vm sometimes but my problem isn't resolved.

    I can at least confirm that your FileZilla is using the correct port, as 23*256 + 112 = 6000. And your control port is accessible, as you get a response with a port request. So the problem is either with your server firewall, or your azure endpoints for the 6000 port. Review your setup against this guide. – Reaces Aug 25 '15 at 10:51
  • Can you enable logging in FileZilla and show us the log with timestamps? We need to know what is an interval between the MLSD and the 425 response. Is it immediate or with delay? – Martin Prikryl Aug 25 '15 at 18:11

This page describes the prerequisites and steps to follow for creating a passive FTP server on a Windows Server 2012 VM in Azure http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mast/archive/2013/12/13/setting-up-a-passive-ftp-server-in-windows-azure-vm.aspx

For Filezilla Server, make sure the ports you configure in FileZilla correspond with the endpoints you configure.
