I bought Windows 2003 Standard Edition with the main goal of having a FTP site.
But my server is behind a router/NAT, and when some client tried to connect
in passive mode, the IIS-FTP sent him the local IP, instead of the external
(valid) IP.
I search a lot about this issue, (even in this forum) and the conclussion
was that there is no way to configure the IIS ftp server to send an external
IP instead of the local IP, when it is behind a NAT.

Serv-U has a complete support for passive mode connection: setting of
external IP, passive port range, etc.
Because of that, I moved to Serv-U, and now all my clients can access my FTP
server without any problem.
Other interesting issues in Serv-U are:
-Better support for virtual directories
-FTP users don't have to be Windows users, so you don't have to create a
Windows user for each FTP user.
