Hello,
I would like to enable an FTP port on a Fortigate 3000D firewall in order to access a server via FTP using FileZilla.
If anyone has information on this topic, I'm interested. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
have you at least tried it?
we're talking about professional equipment here; if you're the administrator, you should be trained on it in a serious world.
If you get an administrator who isn't trained, there's no point in installing a firewall of that price.

and... here we go!-
- You won’t find anything more useful on this forum, I doubt it.
So now, you’re going to see your boss and tell him to pay for a training, otherwise you won't touch the thing, in any case, it’s better for him, it’s too serious to leave this in the hands of just anyone.
Personally, I did some training on this 10/15 years ago, but I haven’t worked on it since, not a big deal, I had other stuff going on.
But the products are probably not the same anymore, although the principle of opening an ipv4 connection to an ftp server should remain the same; however, the OS versions have changed, and without knowing your network architecture, we can’t say anything serious.
Do you at least know if the server in question is in a DMZ?

Hello,
Usually, the FTP port is 21, that's the one you need to open on your BOX... if your FTP port is different, provide your port number.
The most practical method is to access the menus of your BOX ... depending on the brand and model, there's a username and password to get through... which you need to know the username is often "admin" and the password is the first eight digits of the Wi-Fi key for that box... if you haven't changed it for traditional BOXes.
Then you need to go to the NAT page, the name may vary... there you provide the local IP address of the concerned PC and the port number in the respective columns... save OK.. and then exit the BOX properly and restart it...
Now try to connect...
Be careful, your PC must always have the same IP so you need to set it to static IP..
Here's a brief explanation on opening a specific port.
Fortigate 3000D or Freebox, the principle is the same, you just need to read the manual to know the details.

This model is probably manageable remotely... without needing to go through the BOX entrance.
