I'm trying to connect from one server to another using FTP. By using command line, everything thing is ok. however when using Windows Explorer to browse to the FTP location i get timeout issue.
I've tried connecting using a .net code, and I got the following exception
The remote server returned an error: 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,231,1,4,218).

Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools > Internet Options. Under the Advanced tab, select the Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer) option, and then click Apply. After making the changes, the address bar in Windows Explorer can be used to connect to an FTP site as shown below.
This is a quick tip to access your FTP folder directly from your Operating System. Open a Windows explorer window (Windows key + E) and type the FTP address (ftp://domainname.com) in the file path at the top and hit Enter. Enter the username and password into the prompt window.
Windows 10. Open Control Panel via your start menu and double click on Internet Options. Select the Advanced tab at the top and scroll down to Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer) and make sure it is checked.
The question was about Windows Explorer, not IE. If ftp.exe can connect, but Windows Explorer can't, then you have a Passive FTP server, and you need to un-check
Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced Settings > "Use Passive FTP"
then click Apply - now Windows Explorer will be able to connect to the FTP server.
