• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Plesk - Windows 2008 R2 - FTP - Backup Repository

I'm having trouble with FTP on a Windows 2008 R2 using "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" - Currently Plesk does not have permissions to use FTP, therefore my FTP Backup Repository is not connecting...

If I select the following with the Firewall settings - Public Profile > Inbound Connections > "Allow" - Then the tab "Personal FTP Repository" within the Backup Manager works. If this is set to the default setting "Block (default)", then Plesk cannot FTP out.

What Firewall settings do I need for my server to be able to FTP out? As currently, no program can create an FTP connection from the server (Filezilla for example) - BUT! - we are able to FTP to the server.

I'm assuming I need to tweak my Inbound Public Profile rules? Port 21 is open - but I'm assuming something else is needed for this all over the top "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security"...

Many Thanks.

Please note: I've tried following these walk throughs with no success...

(http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/309/configuring-ftp-firewall-settings-in-iis-7/#Step3)

To configure Windows Firewall to allow non-secure FTP traffic, use the following steps:

Open a command prompt: click Start, then All Programs, then Accessories, then Command Prompt.
To open port 21 on the firewall, type the following syntax then hit enter:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="FTP (non-SSL)" action=allow protocol=TCP dir=in localport=21

To enable stateful FTP filtering that will dynamically open ports for data connections, type the following syntax then hit enter:

netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFtp enable
