We are trying to create an FTP site on our Azure VM. Here are the steps we have taken: From the VM From Server Manager we added new features. Web Server (IIS), FTP Server, FTP Service From IIS we have added FTP site, setup FTP Firewall with data channel ports of 7157-7160 with external IP address as our VM Public IP, selected file folder for FTP We added port 21 and ports 7157-7160 to Windows Firewall as new inbound rules I restarted FTP service From Azure portal I selected VM and clicked on networking and added inbound port rule for FTP port 21 and FTP Data ports 7157-7160 Results: I can go to cmd prompt from VM and connect to ftp and pull directory but when I try to connect via filezilla outside the VM, it will not connect and times out. When using a port checking tool, port 21 fails. I can access port 3389 and 80 fine.
Hello @GTR Admin ,
Is the VM traffic flowing through an Azure Firewall?
And could you check what is the priority of the port 21 inbound rule on the VM's NSG. Is it being blocked by another rule?
You can also validate your FTP & port configuration by following the below blog:

I am looking at my Azure portal and shows 0 items under firewalls.
Here is a list of inbound port rules:
I followed the link you provided and it is setup.
When using a port checking tool, port 21 fails.
Hello @GTR Admin ,
Thank you for the update.
Is there any additional NSG on the VM subnet?
The inbound rules in the screenshot looks fine and you also mentioned that you added port 21 in Windows firewall. I understand port check on port 21 fails but may I know what happens if you do a psping to the private IP of this VM on port 21 from another VM in the same subnet?
Thanks,
Gita
We only have 1 VM and only 1 NSG associated with 1 subnet and 1 network interface.
Hello @GTR Admin ,
I would request you to create a test VM in the same subnet and try a psping to the private IP of the FTP VM on port 21 and check if it succeeds. You can delete the test VM post testing immediately.
Thanks,
Gita
Hello @GTR Admin ,
Could you please provide an update on this post? Were you able to test the connectivity from a test VM as advised?
Thanks,
Gita
Hello @GTR Admin ,
I'm following up to check the current status of this issue. Please provide an update on this post to proceed further.
Thanks,
Gita
Hi @GTR Admin ,
Did you open the required FTP ports in the OS Firewall on the FTP Server?
Are you able to connect to the FTP server from another Azure VM in the same subnet?
