What ports need to be open for IIS FTP servers on a Firewall and how to best do it and is it possible to configure the Firewall for IIS FTP that I have opened the right ports and it is good ?
Just opened port 21 but the server is not available, when opening all the ports the server is running.
p.s. As I understand from the wiki you need to open 21/TCP for commands, 20/TCP for data and 49152-65534/TCP dynamically.
Russian version
I just created a 'New Rule' - opening TCP 20-21 and got it working. Microsoft default FTP Rules were still in place and activated, but were blocking the connection.
svchost.exe, which I cannot change)
When you install IIS, it preconfigures firewall rules in Windows Firewall.
You may just need to enable those rules to make it working.
Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall > Advanced Settings > Inbound Rules and locate three "FTP server" rules. Make sure they are enabled. For details, see my article on Installing a secure FTP Server on Windows using IIS.
If this does not help, you need to give us more details. Particularly, what exact problem/error message are you getting. "Is not available" is pretty vague.
You just need to reset Windows 2016 server for preconfigures firewall rules in Windows Firewall start working. I had exactly same problem on few Windows server.
