FileZilla Server Setup with Dynamic DNS

If you're using FileZilla Server as your FTP server and have a dynamic IP address, you may need to update your filter settings regularly. This can be a tedious task, but fear not! With the right tools and setup, you can automate this process. In this article, we'll explore how to set up your DNS service and FileZilla Server for seamless integration.

Firstly, it's essential to choose a DNS service that supports dynamic IPs. One such service is EntryDNS, which offers a free API and is easy to use. Once you've signed up, create a dynamic host entry using the provided API. This will allow your IP address to be updated automatically whenever it changes.

To set up FileZilla Server with your dynamic DNS service, follow these steps:

* Sign up for a DNS service that supports dynamic IPs.

* Create a dynamic host entry using the provider's API.

* Set up your FileZilla Server filter settings to use the dynamic DNS service.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your FTP server is always secure and updated with your latest IP address. This will prevent unauthorized access and keep your files safe from prying eyes.

Remember to set the TTL (Time To Live) to 60 when creating your dynamic host entry, so that changes propagate quickly. With this setup, you'll never have to worry about updating your filter settings again.
