FTP on Windows 2012
I am having issues setting up FTP on Windows Server 2012. I am hosting on a VM using AWS. I have opened all the required ports on the security group for the VM. I also allowed pass through on Advanced Security firewall. I even opened ALL TCP ports on security group and disabled the firewall. I still cannot connect. I did not have this issue with Server 2008. I have tried passive connections, and secure connections with a certificate that I generated. I have tried setting up both the FTP in IIS as well as tried FileZilla FTP Server. Same issue on both. FIlezilla Server does connect ON the Server 2012 but will not connect to FTP or Filezilla outside the network. I seems like a firewall issue but since I disabled the firewall and it still does not work, I'm baffled.
Has anyone run into this issue and know how to fix it?
