From TSW Electronics Ltd (@tswelectronics) via Twitter who tweets:
“Hi, port 21 on my virtual machine appears to be closed despite opening it from my portal control. I cannot find anything information on this other than for the old classic portal configurations. Any links to instructions on opening ports please. “
The customer also added: “I want to open the port on a new portal. I have port 80 and 3389? for RDP open. I tested closing port 3389 and this worked so I know I can close and open that port. But when I try to open port 21 it says it is done but when I test the port it says it is closed. I have checked the firewall settings on the server and port 21 has a rule to allow it through”
and: “Port 21 is being used for FTP. I mentioned port 3389, which is used for RDP by default on your servers. I mentioned 3389 because I can enable and disable that port but the same action with port 21 does not seem to open the port”
