FTP Firewall Support
Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012
Use the FTP Firewall Support feature page to modify the settings for passive connections when FTP clients are connecting to an FTP server that is located behind a firewall server.
Note
If you configure these options, you only control the behavior of the FTP server. You still have to configure your firewall to accept FTP connections and route them appropriately to your FTP server.
