Recently I came across a situation where I had to move some stuff from my local system to my Amazon EC2 instance, but I was having problems installing and configuring the FileZilla server on EC2.
Step 1
For a while make your security group to access all TCP Traffic from out side world.
Step 2
Since you are using windows firewall on server 2008 , make sure you disable it for this test.
Go to windows firewall configuration and disable both of them for public and private network.
Step 3
Now identify the public ipv4 DNS for your instance and try to telnet from your system.
Step 4
If you are able to telnet on port 21 and is represented with a FileZilla server message.
Step 5
Now go to EC2 instance and create user/group/shared directory and home directory for
FileZilla users on the FileZilla server.
Set the folder as home directory and click ok.
Step 6
Go to settings and use passive mode and enter your public IP address of the instance.
Step 7
Restart FileZilla server and upload your install folders.
Troubleshoot:
You might see this kind of error if you shared folder has missing rights or your home directory is not setup properly.
response: 550 user does not have permission to access own home directory filezilla
