I'm trying to set up FTP access to my Windows 2008 R2 instance. I have followed the guide here:
http://handziuk.com/blog/post/2014/10/01/setting-up-ftp-access-to-windows-2008-r2-through-amazon-ec2
and here:
I have done the following:
- Installed FTP services in IIS
- Set up an FTP site in IIS pointing to the directory where I want the files to be accessed.
- Configured FTP firewall support at the server level using ports 41000-41099 and external IP address of my elastic IP
-
Run the following:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=FTP_Service action=allow service=ftpsvc protocol=TCP dir=in netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFTP disable
-
Added the necessary inbound rules in the instances security group for ports 41000-41099 and 21
- Restarted the FTP service.
However In FileZilla I am still unable to connect using the elastic IP and my Administrator login credentials. I get this error:
Status: Connecting to Elastic IP...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Connection closed by server
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to Elastic IP...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

Have you tried to open port 21 by Security Group settings? (AWS Security Group settings)
