FileZilla Server - Connection to server closed

Post icon  Posted 03 October 2008 - 03:39 AM

Hi there,
Brand new at setting up an FTP Server, so please bare with my questions if they seem obvious.

What I have done:
Set up a domain name with DynDNS and pointed it to my IP
Installed the DynDNS updater
Port forwarded the correct port and used uTorrent's port test facility to verify
Allowed FTP from my router (D-Link; DSL-G604T)
Installed Filezilla server with 127.0.0.1 as Server address and no administration password
Added Filezilla as an exception to Windows Firewall (using basic stuff till this is up and running)

What I can't do:
When I run the FileZilla Server Interface I get this message over and over again-
"Connecting to server...
Connected, waiting for authentication
Connection to server closed
Trying to connect in 5 seconds"

I have never been able to connect, this happened immediately. When I drop down the edit menu, everything is ghosted out. I am using windows XP Pro SP3

I am now at my wits end! Have I missed a step in the process? Every guide I find tells me to do exactly what I have done. It's driving me bonkers!

Any help is greatly appreciated and will be rewarded with a lifetime of golden, toasty karma that will make you feel warm and comfy inside! :D
