I am new here.
Few days ago, attended MS azure events, and today registered with Azure (free account).
VM Environment: VM = CentOS 7, apache+php+mysql+vsftpd+phpMyAdmin
everything is up and running, able to visit the "info.php" via its public IP address.
SeLinux = disabled, Firewalld disabled.
my problem is not able to connect this server via Filezilla (PC client).
from Windows command prompt (FTP/put) is working, able to upload files.
But via Filezilla

I believe that is because of the Network Security group settings for inbound and outbound rules, need open some port, but not sure, because I tried open 1024-65535 all allow, still not working.
If you use passive mode FTP, you should open ports 20,21 and ports that you need on Azure NSG(Inbound rules). You could check /etc/vsftpd.conf
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_min_port=60001
pasv_max_port=60005
For this example, you should open ports 60001-60005 on Azure NSG(Inbound rules).
