To set up an FTP server on a D-Link DIR-655 using FileZilla, first, access the router's web interface by entering its IP address in a browser. Navigate to the "Advanced" section, then to "USB Settings" to enable FTP service and configure the shared folder. Install and open FileZilla Server on your computer, create a user account with access to the shared folder, and set the appropriate permissions. Finally, ensure any firewall settings allow FTP traffic, and use your router's external IP to connect via FileZilla Client.

To run an FTP client behind a firewall, you typically need to ensure that the necessary ports for FTP are open. FTP uses port 21 for commands, and for passive mode, it may require a range of high-numbered ports (usually between 1024 and 65535) for data transfer. Configure the firewall to allow these ports, or set the FTP client to use passive mode, which is often more firewall-friendly. Additionally, consider using secure FTP variants, like FTPS or SFTP, which can help manage connections through firewalls more effectively.
