The server does not have the firewall client installed,
but does it use the ISA settings?
The server needs to use ftp as it FTP's the antivirus
update files and downloads them to the network. This
works ok.
The clients (well 4 or 5 of them) need access to a
particular ftp site to sned and receive files from their
customers, but they cannot log onto any ftp server. Is
there some setting in ISA I can chabnge to allow the
clients to use FTP services?
