    Please help me fix this.
    IIS 6 (Windows 2003 Standard Server)
    Anytime I try to enter the
    FTP server via Internet Explorer 6.0 I get this after
    authenticating user name and password -
    first "entering passive mode transfer"
    then a "connection closed" all in a error dialog box
    If I disable or uncheck the "Use passive ftp" selection in
    the Internet Explorer settings (advanced tab)
    and have the "Use FTP Folder view" enabled
    in the Internet Explorer settings,
    the browser / client works.

    However, this doesn't help my users by having to uncheck
    this setting then check it again after...
    Also my Linux Users can not access
    the the ftp server thru thier browsers "at all"

    If a straight FTP client is used,
    either thru a Windows CMD Window
    or a Linux Terminal,
    it works perfectly,
    although in all text / command line mode.
    Do I have to edit a line in the Windows 2003 registry?
    I just want users to be able to get to my ftp via a
    browser without any browser setting "disabling".
    Thanks for any help.
    Happy
