Server on Linux not working when accessing from Filezilla on Windows about minimalftp HOT 4 CLOSED

The problem is probably firewall. You're using passive mode, which picks a random port to start a server.
Try setting FileZilla to use active mode instead.

Hmmm... interesting. There was a firewall, and disabling it does the trick in active mode. In passive mode, same error message even when disabling the firewall (and also running the server as root). I'll use active mode for now, do you know how can I test passive mode ports?

I use Java's automatic port allocation, which picks a random port from an ephemeral range.

I can add an option to disable passive mode in the server, so clients such as Filezilla will automatically pick active mode.

Would be nice, but don't sweat on it. If you feel like doing it - thanks a lot. No pressure. 😉
