Re: FTP server responds to PASV with wrong port on Server 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I used the RRA Wizard and just configured it for LAN only and voila -
the passive ftp started working on the correct ports. If I added basic
firewall, alas, back to the same problem.

It would be good to know what one can and can't configure in RRA if one
needs passive ftp with port range restriction

That's how it *should* work. But note the subtile differences :-) It's
not starting at the beginning of the portrange: it's always starting at
5001, regardless of what you enter for the portrange. And it's not
counting until the end of the portrange, but it just keeps counting....

I solved the problem on my server by disabling the Windows Firewall and
configuring Routing and Remote Access - but watch out for the basic
firewall in RRA. I don't know why it works. Maybe the FTP server needs
it to correctly apply the PassivePortRange?
