(I haven’t registered on the forums, I use FileZilla Server very rarely. 😉
I had similar trouble. Comodo firewall, and no files showing in the directory listing.
This is while connecting to the server running on my computer, from an FTP client running on my computer (I tried Filezilla, and Firefox).
What fixed it for me is this: I went into Comodo Firewall. In the Application Monitor entry for Filezilla Server.exe, right click, choose “Edit…”, Miscellaneous tab, and check “Skip advanced security checks”.
After that, I’ve been able to see the files in the directory.
Could you post this there for me, please?

I do not know what happened exactly but my FTP server was not working. A FTP client connected but showed a blank directory listing. I was kind of hoping for an error message but no luck. So I checked my Comodo firewall. It looked like my Comodo firewall had updated itself but everything looked pretty normal in Comodo. I could see the FTP connections. So I checked the XAMPP installation. I recently updated it but the Filezilla portion was unchanged except for the configuration file. Everything should work but it didn’t. Finally after some fruitless troubleshooting I found this article. I changed the inbound rule to “Skip advanced security checks” and everything is back to normal.
