Re: IIS 6.0 FTP

This is what I get:
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator>ftp kilduff.com
Connected to kilduff.com.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 00:44. Server port: 21.
220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
User (kilduff.com:(none)): Administrator
331 User Administrator OK. Password required
Password:
530 Authentication failed, sorry
Login failed.
ftp>
And as it said - the logon failed, and it failed with several other user
accounts too. Also my IP address is in the security directory. Should I try
something else? I really appreciate your efforts here.

The reason for testing via ftp.exe is to see if your ftp server is working
correctly.
I understand your have the order entry program, but now - we need to check
if your ftp is working first.

So, go to the remote machine (which allow to connect to your iis server), go
to command prompt
c:\>ftp yourftpserver
do you see login prompt?, try login, can you upload file?
post the output here.

The ftp server connection msgs you posted, doesn't look like IIS FTP to me.
you sure you are using/connecting to IIS FTP?

Yes, I only allow specific IP addresses to connect, as I did with IIS 4.0.
My
clients are using an order entry program created in Microsoft access. This
works in conjunction with a host program created in the same. The host
polls
the client folders in the FTP root directory. The Client enters their
order,
hits the send button, the order entry program then opens the ftp
connection
using the clients username and password, and uploads the order to their
respective folder. The host then pulls the order. None of these clients
actually access the site by ftp.exe. All that is done within the order
entry
program. I have looked over the code within the order entry - and I see
nothing that would interfere with its operation. Below is what comes up
when
I ftp into the site. I do not do much of that myself. This has me at a
loss
here. They all have the proper permissions, their IP address is in the
directory security, and yet when I reboot, I have to enter the syntax I
mentioned in my first post, or I get the resulting error message. This
really
has me baffled. I got that idea from a help and support file in Windows
server 2003 "Article 293637". It doesn't even say it applies to IIS 6.0,
but
I tried it, and it worked. It gives no resolution. Well... this is what
comes
up. Any ideas?

I'm confused. Are you saying you have configured IP restriction and only
allowed specific IP address to connect?
if yes, what's the problem now? user can't connect? post the output when
you
connect via ftp.exe

In directory security, everyone is denied access, except the Ip
addresses
of
my clients. This is the exact same way I had it set up on my NT 4.0
running
IIS 4.0. I am really confused here, and I need this to run smoothly.
There
is
no reason this should be happening that I can see. I have even gone as
far
as
to grant the clients full permissions, and I get the same thing.

IP restriction setting keep coming back?

What if you go to IIS MMC, ftp site - directory security.... remove
all
restriction, then close IIS MMC.
restart IIS service, then reopen IIS MMC. is the setting still there ?

if no, then reboot the machine, does the setting come back?

Everytime my Server is rebooted, none of my ftp clients can get
through
until
I type these instructions from the command prompt within the
inetpub\adminscripts directory.
cscript adsutil.vbs delete msftpsvc/<FTP site
number>/root/ipsecurity
net stop iisadmin /y
net start msftpsvc

Why do I have to keep typing this? Is there some kind of security
update
that I can remove? I should not have to do this everytime the server
reboots.
If I dont, the client gets an error that reads:
"FTP Server could not create a client worker thread for user at host
4.131.204.222. The connection to this user is terminated. The data
is
the
error".
As soon as I type the above commands, it is okay. Is there a way
around
this? I appreciate any and all help.
