This was great! I set up my own FTP server and did one for a friend, too. I like how thorough this video was. Following along with this has saved me from countless bugs that would have had to been fixed if I didn't think to manually change things in the firewall, for example. Most of the setup videos on youtube only tell you the bare minimum to set something up and they don't even include all the details to avoid headaches along the way. I got my FTP server working on the first try with no issues. Thanks again.
I want to thank you for this very informative video. I had attempted to set up my FTP server using a written guide, but failed (that guide glossed over the 'creating an FTP user' step). With the guidance of this video, I had my server up and running, accessible by myself and my friends on other networks, in about 20 minutes. So thank you again.
I follow your video and the ftp works great with my dlink camera. I tried several ftp programs and couldn't get any of them to work. thanks, keep up the good work!
I missed the steps for local windows user and directory permissions and was stuck, thanks to your step by step video it worked perfectly fine. Great job. Thanks a lot.
Great video. Very clear. It was exactly what I was looking for to access my IP camera records. One part is missing. I had to go to Windows Firewall, Inbound rules and Enable "FTP Server Traffic in" and "FTP Passive", then go to Outbound Rules and enable "FTP Traffic Out" and "FTP Server Secure" When you first open either of these directories you need to just click anywhere on the page or you don't see the FTP settings. Got this tip from another video.
Thanks a lot. Much easier and clear instructions and presentation. Was able to access it over the internet by configuring Virtual Server in my TP link router.
Hello Miguel. I only get connection with LAN not getting connection with WAN. Router was configured as you said. Very clear the way you explain. Now i found the problem, it works like a charm! THANKS MIGUEL
Thank you! Great instructional video. Detailed, descriptive, step-by-step and an excellent training pace. One question, after I set mine up, when I put the ftp url, I only the welcome to IIS page. Did I do something wrong, or does it have to do with different versions of win10 or IIS? Lastly, can you please tell me what software you used to video record the monitor?
I have done the work as per guided in the video but after giving ID and password it shows 'Access Error'. What is the solution of this problem? Can you help me plz?
Extremely useful video, one of the best I have seen om UA-cam. Unfortunately it did not work for me to access my FTP-server from the outside. Struggled with this for two days until I disabled the firewall in the router and also disabled Windows firewall. Then it worked like clockwork :) A question: Say I want a friend to access his own folder on my FTP-server. Do I just set up him as another user in the same way you set up 'Miguel' ??
hey bro... i hav a doubt.... while config the router... i hav the other things also in port forwarding- external starting port=20, external ending port=21, internal starting port=20, internal ending port=21 so wat to do!
Thanks for such detailed video. I am having an issue with port forwarding on my huawei hg8546m router. The options on it are very different then the one you showed. I was wondering if you can help me with that.
Great video. Unfortunately, I got stuck at the very end where I need to configure my router. Entering my settings (IP address) into the browser does not work. I am not sure how to proceed.
thank you so much, man! finally solved the storage i was having on my macbook, now i can finally transfer files from my macbook over the network to my PC which has a lot more storage!
I was having issues with firewall as the inbound rule that is already there for port 21 is app specific. I added in advanced settings a new rule for port 21 for all apps and it worked fine. Then when I set it up on another computer I did a reboot after installing the FTP component. Then when I went and added firewall exception for FTP it worked straight away. Please reboot after installing components to avoid firewall issues.
Great detail which is great but my question is how would I have to alter these instructions to access an ext. HD that I have configured to my router? I obviously have access via LAN but I want to also have access to it via WAN. Any assistance would be so very apreciated!
Hi Miguel, Your tuto is fantastic and I thank you so much for the quality of your presentation and very clear explanations. You can be proude of your video ! With all my thanks! Eddy
Do you have an up to date one that actually has current windows and xfinity mechanics? I can't figure it out, as the layout is completely different for it once it gets to the port forwarding part.
Sir, I understood second thing. Now my question is will be I able to upload files with help of 1st setting to servers, or I have to buy a router? also tell will be I able to download my files with 1st setting. first setting is IPV6 address. I meant.
Hi Miguel. thanks for the video, it helped alot to set up my windows 10 pc but i need some help with a few things, you mention that it will be better to have SSL but i cant figure out how to, i dont know if i need it coz i am only gonna use it in my LAN, another thing i need and the most important is how do i add another Physical Path after to the site information. I basically have 2 USB hdd in that pc and i manage to access 1 but i would like to add the 2nd hdd to that FTP site!... Thanks.
Good day I am looking to set up a server for remote access of my home internet as at work a lot of sites are blocked. would this be what I need to set up to enable me to connect to my home network and use my home internet?
Hi! I have some questions regarding the FTP. 1. The FTP folder must be on the computer? Could I put it on a HDD?; 2. If I want the files to remain always on the ftp, the files should be in the folder, or I can erase them from the folder, without any problems? 3. Which is the maximum space allowed to be stored on a ftp account? Thank you!
Super great video, everything is made clear! I subscribe immediately. One more thing that made me laugh: the username being blurred to have next window "Hi admin" ahah
Hello, thanks for your clearly tutorial video I have a problem that I can not write or read any non-english character in file name, how to fix it? Thank you
Great video man! Has been trying access my Windows 10 folders from my Android tablet in various ways. Decided to go for FTP. It was a nightmare to try yourself. This video helped alot! But! In the firewall I had to add the service "svchost.exe" (Host process for ISS) also. To get it to work with firewall enabled. And suddenly it does work! (with "private" on the firewall on both services). Great! Now I can watch movies again :)
thx very much for the vid!!! I got a question, though, that it might sound too dummie, but since I'm no computer expert I'll ask you guys: at that part at ISS Manager, Sites, Add FTP Sites. Does that work for people like myself, who already has an FTP Server accessable through an older computer running Windows 7? If so, when clicking "Add FTP Sites" I would then type the name of my FTP server that I've been using for years, not creating a new one, right? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but I'm a no high-tech guy having to edit a whole website through FTP while trying to keep up with the changes brought by Windows 10. Thank you very much!!!
thanks a lot...i have a problm... 1.i could download some files(some .mkv files) to my phone using ftp ,but not all files(some other .mkv files) in the ftp folder is not downloadable.can u help

Hello Miguel, I am getting this error; "The function attempted to use that is reserved for use by another transaction Error code: 0x80071A90" after I click "OK" in the "Internation information Services" and "FTP server"
@AvoidErrors i can get the lan ftp server working perfectly it works great thankyou! i was wondering what do i enter for my router protocols. I have external port and internal port with 2 empty spaces for each. i tried 21 for all, 10000 and 11000 and many other ones but cannot get it to work. Any idea what i should enter?
This was great! I set up my own FTP server and did one for a friend, too. I like how thorough this video was.

it did not work for me. I did all the steps correctly even then its not working
Thank you! That is much easier than I thought! I need this for security cameras and it will work great!

thank you for the excellent video. Needed local only FTP server for surveillance cameras --- appreciate the video
+Joe Mezzanini My application, too.
Joe Mezzanini i need it for my cameras as well i followed the video but how do i log in to it on my cameras to set the Motion capture record please
Great video. Very clear. It was exactly what I was looking for to access my IP camera records. One part is missing. I had to go to Windows Firewall, Inbound rules and Enable "FTP Server Traffic in" and "FTP Passive", then go to Outbound Rules and enable "FTP Traffic Out" and "FTP Server Secure" When you first open either of these directories you need to just click anywhere on the page or you don't see the FTP settings.
Got this tip from another video.
+Brian Cohen --- This solution worked for me too.
How you acces your ip camera record? Would you share?
You've actually got so quality stuff on your channel. Keep that up man!
Thank you! You are better than most of my professors. I wish I had you for my Networking class!
Very nicely done, clear instructional video. Thank you!
Exceptionally lucid and thorough. Many thanks.
Thanks for help me out. This is one of the best best i ever saw. Thanks once again for detail explanation

easy to understand and detailed... superb job... Many thanks for this video!
very clear and precise tutorial , keep up the good work, God bless, thanks for sharing
Thank you Miguel, that was very clear and easy to follow.
This is the best walk-thru! If you are wondering why you have an ip address starting with 10. this will help! Thank you
a very imp. thing to do before following steps in this tutorial. Local IP address has to be made static by going in network settings.
Exactly. THis is the main point which no one has cared to point out in any of their videos.
Congrats for the video, the best one so far.
I could listen to Nice tutorialm talk for hours man what a passionate dude ❤️
Excellent video Miguel Thank you Set mine up perefectly

Thanks, your explanation was neat and clean.
Thank you! Great instructional video. Detailed, descriptive, step-by-step and an excellent training pace. One question, after I set mine up, when I put the ftp url, I only the welcome to IIS page. Did I do something wrong, or does it have to do with different versions of win10 or IIS? Lastly, can you please tell me what software you used to video record the monitor?
probably a capture card or its a virtual machine
Best instruction ever! Thank you so much!

Do you have an up to date one that actually has current windows and xfinity mechanics? I can't figure it out, as the layout is completely different for it once it gets to the port forwarding part.
It worked straight. Thanks for this video.
