Can’t login FTP site because of missing port 20 on Windows firewall

Situation: The client setup a FTP site in their Windows 2012 R2. When they try to access the FTP site, and enter their credentials, they can’t access the FTP with timeout message.

Troubleshooting: 1. If we turn Windows Firewall off, it works.

2. The Windows Firewall already has FTP inbound and outbound configured.

3. We fix the problem by adding port 20 in windows firewall.
