Neil Hans Local FTP not working with AVG firewall.
Hello,
On my home network, I am trying to set up my security camera system (DVR) to automatically FTP image (jpg) files to my Windows 10 PC. It's a typical network setup...the DVR and PC are connected to the router. I am using the Windows 10 FTP server service, not any third-party FTP program like Cute FTP. I have AVG Internet Security (v19.x) and use it's firewall (Full Protection/Hacker Attacks).
When the AVG firewall is on (activated), on my PC, the DVR FTP doesn't work. But when I turn off AVG firewall (after I unplug the internet cable from my router), the FTP works fine.
What changes do I need to make in AVG (or Windows 10) so I can FTP (locally ONLY), yet have the AVG firewall running and not be exposed to hacks/attacks?
Thanks.

Let us change the network profile from AVG Internet Security and check the status.
Open AVG Internet Security program window.
Click on "Hacker Attacks-->Firewall Options-->Network Profiles".
If the profile was set as "Public", click and change it to "Private".
Click on "Policies" and then select "System Rules".
Enable the option that says "Allow Windows File and Printer sharing" and "Allow remote desktop connections to this computer".
Check the status with Local FTP and keep us posted.

You can try to change the network profile as Private when you connect the device to other network.
In case if you face any issues, please do let us know. Thank you.
