Tags: #ftp
Model: Deco BE85  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.1

If I do a nmap scan from the internet i can see that the FTP port is open, but I have not enabled FTP service from internet. I used to have it open before, but I disabled it, the service is not running, but compared to other services I see that the connection is accepted but no login is possible.

Would it be possible to completly turn off the FTP service?

I have powered off the Deco device and turned it on, but this didn't help, so I have factory reset my deco devices. but there is still the ftp port open even after a factory reset.

All other ports are not answering to a request, and it would be great if all ports would not accept any connection so the device would not show as it self available towards the internet.

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

Can you share me some screenshots that "If I do a nmap scan from the internet, I can see that the FTP port is open"?

Did you use the FTP service before for USB sharing?

Please also test whether the 1.1.3 beta firmware here helps or not:

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
