Re: Bug with W2K3, SP1, Windows Firewall and FTP

I'm encountering a bad behavior with Windows Firewall on too. With the
Windows Firewall on, the FTP sessions (using the command line FTP on the
client) would be disconnected (the message says something about connection
disconnect by server) in about less than 1 minute, but the IIS manager would
still show the session is active. If the Windows Firewall is off,
everything is well.

Hello people,

I don't know if this is a documented bug or if the information is wide
spread, but since we spend about two days tracking this down, I think it
makes sense to share this information with whoever is interested in it.

This is the setup where this will occur:
- Windows 2003 server with SP1
- Windows firewall turned on
- IIS on the same machine
- FTP within that IIS

Now, add a welcome message to the ftp. As soon as this welcome message
contains a <return>, your browser will hang when you navigate to the
ftp-site. It does not actually hang, but returns an error much later and
your
ftp-site is not accessible.

Remove all returns from the welcome message, and the ftp-server works just
fine...

Regards,

Benoit Somers.
