In the Control Panel, open the Security Center.

Click Windows Firewall. The Windows Firewall dialog box appears.

Click the Exceptions tab, then click Add Port. The Add a Port dialog box appears.


In the Name box, type FTP.

In the Port box, type 21.

Leave TCP selected, then click OK.

Click OK to close the Windows Firewall dialog box.

Click the X in the upper right corner to close the Security Center.
