FTP port 21 is opened and can be accessed from external ip addresses . The username and password can be found in the second text file on the Administrator’s Desktop . The name of the file is “ftp_access.txt”. Please change the password for the ftp account using the Filezila Admin console.

If you need to create multiple websites shared on the same server you need to modify the C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf file
