Re: Windows 2003 SP2 and FTP

Zzz the same old question again :)
Can you test ftp.exe from remotely? this should works as you have the
inetinfo.exe exception defined.

what client you using? does it work in active mode?

Thanks fot the reply. I did everything you mentioned here, I even added
one
to allow TCP port 20 as well. Added inetinfo.exe as exception. Tried
ftp.exe
from command line, and got the error message "Connection closed by remote
host". When I looked at the remote FTP server "Client Session", it shows
that
port 21 connected, but on my side the FTP failed to connect.

If I take Windows Firewall off on the W2K3 server, everything works fine.
I
think there is no way to make the FTP to work if I have Windows Firewall
activated.

I have R2 without sp2. did you allow ftp services on the firewall ?
Windows Firewall - advanced - network connection - select your connect,
click settings, check ftp services....

or have you create an exception for inetinfo.exe ?

can you test it out with ftp.exe first?

Hi:

I installed a Windows W2K3 R2 64bit server and enabled FTP server for
internal use. After I installed SP2 on W2K3 server, I cannot connect
FTP
anymore. But if I turn Windows Firewall off on that server, FTP works
fine.
How can I turn Firewall on and make FTP to work. I am using WS_FTP.
Thanks.
