I have an FTP server which I would like to be able to send to my personal Windows 10 computers stationed around my area (different IPs) to access files, and in order to access them, I need to allow the ports through the firewalls. Instead of doing this, is there any way to have my Python program use some other port that doesn't need to bypass the firewall OR bypass the firewall altogether?
Server.py
from pyftpdlib.authorizers import DummyAuthorizer
from pyftpdlib.handlers import FTPHandler
from pyftpdlib.servers import FTPServer
import urllib.request
import mysql.connector
sqlpass = ""
version = "1.3"
def ftp_main():
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="",
port="3306",
user="",
passwd=sqlpass,
database=""
)
mycursor = mydb.cursor()
mycursor.execute("SELECT Username, Password FROM FtpInfo")
myresult = mycursor.fetchall()
Username, Password = myresult[0]
print(Username + " " + Password)
external_ip = urllib.request.urlopen('https://ident.me').read().decode('utf8')
print(external_ip)
authorizer = DummyAuthorizer()
# Define a new user having full r/w permissions and a read-only
# anonymous user
authorizer.add_user(Username, Password, '.', perm='elradfmwMT')
authorizer.add_anonymous('.')
# Instantiate FTP handler class
handler = FTPHandler
handler.authorizer = authorizer
handler.masquerade_address = external_ip
handler.passive_ports = range(60000, 60999)
# Define a customized banner (string returned when client connects)
handler.banner = "FTP Server v" + version
address = ('', 1000)
server = FTPServer(address, handler)
# start ftp server
server.serve_forever()
ftp_main()
I'm not aware of any native Python way to configure Windows firewall.
Though you can simply execute Windows netsh
command from Python using os.system
.
See How to open ports on Windows firewall through batch file.
