In Windows Server 2008 R2 the windows advanced firewall has an option for Passive FTP ports.

But on Windows Server 2008 (not the R2 version) there is no passive option for FTP.

So how do you allow all the randomly generated passive FTP ports to allow inbound traffic?

The simplest way to do this is to allow the process that handles the FTP traffic “inetinfo.exe”.
