To the predefined FTP client rules provided by Comodo, you need to add the rule for passive FTP:
allow
TCP
out
any
any
any
any
Port 20 is for active FTP, which is not often used. See http://www.slacksite.com/other/ftp.html , for example, for more than you ever wanted to know about FTP.
Thanks for the additonal information on your blocks. Couple of things to do.
Are you using the Comodo Web Browser rules for Firefox. The “allow passive FTP” rule is also missing there also, and needs to be added. This is the port 21 block
Take a look at your global rules. Do you have a “block all in/out” type rule there? Add an “Allow TCP in from port 20” rule ahead of it.
Thanks for reply and for creating “the Major FTP Topic” thread
1)
The only thing I’ve added was 1 (one) Global “20”-Rule as advised here and in your new topic:
“allow/TCP/IN/ANY/ANY/20/ANY” ahead of the block and log."
My other App Rules for FTP remain as it was posted here.
And I am able to connect.
To tell the truth I am not quite understand this statement:
“You will need to do this for every inbound connection allowed by the application rules.”
But I hope I’ll learn 2)
I am not using browser FTP client and that was my another surprise when I saw 21 blocking for Ffox. But now I don’ see any, despite no other changes in addition to mentioned one were made.
My kind regards

p.s.
the Preview still not working… but it is a temporary thing. Moderator(s) are informed.
That statement really had nothing to do with FTP. We just need to start reminding users that for every application ruleset that requires an inbound connection, they need to add the rule again in the global rules because of the “block all” there. Some of us really don’t use the global rules, but we need to sort out the usage a little better for those who do. Glad everything is working for you; now on to the next final next week! Don’t forget to export your settings.
