I currently have a Nintendo switch that is on atmosphere 19.0.4 and firmware version 12.0.2

I have added the port 5000 to inbound and outbound, allowed FTPD and FTP programs to private and public domain and even eventually disabled my firewall on my computer completely and tried using either FileZilla, WinSCP or FlashEXP to connect to my Nintendo switch while having either FTPD classic opened, FTPD pro opened or sys-ftpd-light installed (when testing all, the others were not installed).

I have put my switch internal IP as the host and my port as 5000.

It says "Could not connect to server". I have worked it out to be the switch's problem.

Why won't my switch allow incoming connections for FTP?

You shouldn't have to add your port to inbound or out, it's all on your local network (unless trying on different networks) just start up ftpd and use something like filezilla and connect. Could you include screenshots of the switch and ftp setup for pc and switch please?

You don't should open the port to WAN to work on local network, this is a security issue and people can put or delete files of your Switch if they know your public IP address.

You should use the LAN IP's, 192.168.x.x or 10.1.x.x, the host should be the LAN IP of your Switch.
