Setup FTP Server (Windows)
These instructions are for RconConnect game servers only!
1. Download FileZilla server
Download FileZilla server on your dedicated machine.
2. Install FileZilla server
Enter a password
This password is used to manage your FTP server. Pick a strong password and write it down somewhere.
3. Connect with FileZilla Server
Hit the Connect to FileZilla FTP server button. Enter the FTP management password (the one you setup in the previous step).
4. Create FTP user
Bring up the management panel by clicking Server and then Configure.
Set "Require a password to log in"
Select "Require a password to log in" on the Credentials field and enter a new password.
Make sure to write down this password. You need this for the RconConnect FTP form later.
5. Configure Passive FTP mode
6. Update firewall
We should now allow access to the FTP server by opening the ports in the Windows Defender Firewall.
If there are any other firewalls protecting your machine, you will also need to open / forward these ports manually: 21, 11000 - 12000.
Opening ports can be risky. You should always use strong passwords on your FTP server (and anywhere else). People on the internet might crack weak passwords and access your FTP server. You have been warned!
1. Open Windows Defender Firewall
Click the Windows Start button and type firewall and hit enter to open it.
2. Advanced settings
Click Advanced settings.
3. Create new rule
First click Inbound Rules and then click New Rule.
4. Enter new rule settings
7. FTP server ready
Your FTP server is now ready to use with RconConnect.
