In this tutorial, specify the following values (or the values you chose):
Server profile name: Any text, for example, Remote IIS Web Server, Remote Apache HTTP Server, Remote Nginx, etc.
Host: IP address or host name of the FTP site, for example, 172.16.100.63.

Username: Windows user name.
Password: Windows user password.
Step 5: Click Test FTP Connection and make sure connection to the FTP site is successful.
Tip
In case connection errors occur, try the following to resolve:
-
Check if the Windows Defender Firewall on the FTP server allows the FTP port (21 in this tutorial) to go through.
-
Check if the port (21 in tutorial) is occupied by any other program.
Tip: You can execute the command "netstat -ano | findstr 21" to check if the port number is occupied by any other program.
-
Input a username and password for logging to the FTP site, instead of using anonymous login.
-
Check if the user has read and write permissions to the FTP root.
