Re: Windows 2003 SP2 and FTP

Woh... that would take a year to figure out.
it should not connect at all, that's the part I can't figure why.
it shows you the login prompt, and only close the connection after
that....... wtf ????

anyway, glad you found it.

OK! Found the reason. The DELL server has Dual Broadcom NetXtream NIC and
I
only connected one with static IP. But in Windows Firewall/Advanced tab,
both
network cards are checked even exception list is the same for both. As
soon
as I uncheck the one not in use, everything works fine!

Thanks Bernard for your patience.

I just tested with SP2, and I'm can't repro what you claim.
I have firewall on + inetinfo.exe defined in the exception list,
and I'm able to connect from another Vista client machine via command
line
tool - ftp.exe

Yes, this it is.

If you turn Windows Firewall off on the server, everything works fine.
maybe
that is the only way. Shall I give up? ����

Here it is:

============
C:\Documents and Settings\Gary Xu>ftp
ftp> open 172.16.1.3
Connected to 172.16.1.3.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (172.16.1.3:(none)): hssdomain\xug
Connection closed by remote host.
ftp>
============
And I do have inetinfo.exe in the exception list of Windows Firewall
of
the
FTP server.

I tried ftp.exe, here is what I did;
1. From DOS screen, enter ftp.exe
2. ftp>open 172.16.1.3, got the prompt for user ID and password
and
I
put
them in
3. got the message: "Connection closed by remote host".

I use WS_FTP client, there is a check box "Passive mode", check
that
box
or
uncheck that box, it just doesn't work. After port 21 connected,
it
try
to
randomly open higher ports for data transmission, which blocked
by
Windows
Firewall.

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.
