Step 1 – Install FileZilla Server: To install the FileZilla Server, you will need to download the FileZilla Server installer from the Filezilla site as shown below and click on Download FileZilla Server. The administrator in charge of the firewall should always require PASV connections. However, FTP clients shouldn’t rely on the default values, as this is unsecure. If the client fails to issue a PASV command, the Data Connection defaults to port 20. In the Passive Mode, the client issues a PASV command to indicate that it will wait “passively” for the server to supply an IP and port number, after which the client will create a Data Connection to the server. In passive mode FTP, the client initiates both connections to the server, solving the problem of firewalls filtering the incoming data port connection to the client from the server. Once the FTP client receives a port, it starts the second connection and sends data. The bookmark option from the command ribbon makes it even easier to switch between sites and effectively removes the need for multiple FTP clients. Here, the client connects and sends the PASV command, which functions as a request for a port number to connect to. Filezilla has the ability to connect to multiple sites with multiple different protocols which makes it quick and to transfer multiple files between multiple sites, simply by switching tabs. Passive FTP: This is also referred to as passive mode or PASV and it was developed to resolve the issue of servers initiating the connection to the client. In an Active Mode FTP, the client issues a PORT command to the server signaling that it will “actively” provide an IP and port number to open the Data Connection back to the client. In an active mode connection, when the client makes the initial connection and sends PORT, the server will then connect back to the client’s specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20. That is, when a client and server intend to transfer data, they usually start a control connection first in order to negotiate the details of the Data Connection prior to opening it and transferring data. In this mode, the FTP client connects from a random port (n-1023) to the FTP server’s command port (21).

Select FileZilla- Full-featured FTP client. Open Applications -> Ubuntu Software and Search for FileZilla in the search box as shown below. This is a graphical method where you don’t have to run any command. filezilla Install using Software Manager.

Before proceed with the steps on how to install and connect to an FTP Server, I will like to briefly describe the difference between active and passive FTP as this is a prevalent question when dealing with Firewall configuration to support the deployment. Just type filezilla on the terminal to launch the application when the installation is complete.
