Server Administration : Firewalls

Hello again all,

The majority of the servers that I manage have to communicate with many other servers I manage for various reasons. Inevitably, I have many firewall blocking issues. Despite my age, I still have trouble remembering all of those commonly used ports and what they are for. That being said, this post will list all of the Windows default firewall ports used for the various software sources. Yes these are all readily available at other sites. This is simply a central collection.
I will update this post when I have more blocks come up.
Post comments if you would like to have a particular port added to the list.



FTP

21

HTTP

80

HTTPS

443

POP3

110

SMTP

25

SQL Server Management Studio (remote connect)

1433

Terminal Services

3389

VMWare Server Administration

8222

VMWare Server Administration (Secure)

8333



Let me know in the comments section if there are any ports you would like added to this list.

  1. Is 21 the default for FTP? I often have to ensure subscribers have that port open when I set up replication to deliver the snapshot via FTP.

  2. Yes. 21 is the default port for FTP. I'll add that to the list. Thanks for the suggestion. Any others?
