Amazon EC2 Windows 2008...FTP access from outside not working
hi guys
i have a windows 2008 R2 server in the Amazon EC2 cloud. I have set up FTP, with basic authentication to an FTP folder. This folder is shared and permissions for specific users are given to access it. Locally when I try, I am able to logon just fine.
I've gone into the security groups on the EC2 instance and permitted ports 21 and 22 from any source (i.e. 0.0.0.0/0).
I am using Filezilla to connect to this. Whatever I do, it says 'Connection timed out, could not connect to the server'. I've even added the key pair in Filezilla.
My question is, what username/password should I be using to connect? I'm using the user I created on my windows server along with the password. I'm confused? Any help would be great
Thanks
Yash

I didn't get a chance today guys. I'll look again tomorrow and update.
p.s - I did enable FTP service and the host process for windows.
Think AlexPace's method I'll need to try tomorrow and see.

You are correct with what you are doing. You might need to speak to Amazon ec2 tech guy. I have had this issue before and there was a configuration issue with Amazon ec2 that was solved by the support guy.
