Okay, bear with me on this...I feel like I've tried everything and can't get
this to work!
I had virtual directories set up for an FTP site on our server and they were
working fine. They we upgraded the server from Windows 2000 Server to
Windows Server 2003 (also Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003) and from IIS5.0 to
IIS6.0.
I guess IIS had a little trouble updating at the time and when it got
updated my FTP virtual directories got wiped out. No problem, I said, I'll
just recreate them.
Well, I have recreated them and they are inaccessible from remote computers
over the internet (I can get on from a computer on the LAN).
What happens is when I type in the address, it asks for my password normally
and even accepts my user name and password, but then breaks down with this
message:
200 Type set to A
500 Invalid PORT command
500 LPRT 6,16,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,67,0,0,0,0,0,133,96,2,13,29
I was originally referred to KB281193. I'm not sure how this article
provides a solution, though, and the LPRT response I get is clearly not like
the 6 number example shown.
The attempt above was without Passive Mode checked in IE. With Passive Mode
checked, it just times out after entering the user name and password.
I am running ISA Server 2000, but this was set up before the upgrade to
IIS6.0 and I believe all the settings are fine here to allow access. I have
gone through articles 310110 and 294679 just to be sure. When I followed
the "Publish the FTP Site" instructions in 310110, I got an event log error:
Web Proxy Service failed to bind its socket to 10.0.1.2 port 80. Could be
another service using same port or a NIC that's not functional.
(The NIC is fine and the service continues to run after this message.)
When following article 294679, it mentions changing the EnablePortAttack
value to 1. However, I cannot find this variable (or, I believe the IIS
help file mentioned another name for it in 6.0) in the registry anywhere.
Is this something that I'm supposed to create, or does the fact that its
missing mean that IIS6.0 is not properly installed?
I also read some information about setting the PassivePortRange (KB555022),
but am not sure how this would help.
Another note that may or may not be helpful: I'm setting up the virtual
directories on FTP as a path to another server. I have it set up to use the
user's authentication so that it uses their permissions when accessing the
folder. This does cause an error in the event log upon creation and
reboots:
Unable to add virtual root '/foldername' for the directory
'\\server\foldername' due to the following error: Access is denied.
Despite this I can still access this from a computer on the LAN. If I
assign to use a specific user's permissions, I don't get that error, but
there's too much access then, and I still can't access remotely.
Finally, I've been considering doing a VPN using PPTP for a more secure
option instead...is this relatively easy and should I just try that and give
up on FTP?
Thanks, anyone, for some help or advice...this is driving me crazy!
