Re: Cannot get FTP to Work - disconnects

The 2 NIC's are configured identically except for the IP address Nic 1 is
192.168.1.101 and NIC2 is 192.168.1.102.

The ftp log (I think I got the right one - iis6.log) doesn't say anything
about a problem. I can ftp to my own server by address instead of localhost.
What does that mean?

ha! my outlook express only showing this thread :)
the rest of the thread posts have been removed.

so connection closed if you try ftp localhost.
can you check the ftp log?
i still think is the two NIC setup issue :)

I have been assigned this problem again. I have discovered a different
issue
than I first thought that I had. If I go on the server can type ftp
localhost
I get the following:
Connected to server.domain
Connection closed by remote host

This is an immediate action by the server, there is no delay.
Can you offer some insight, Where could I get more information?

I'm out of idea as well. From what you posted it looks like port issue,
coz
you can get it but not dir listing, etc.
Also the 2 nic involved. You can try disable one NIC and see if it works
since there's no firewall in between.

IIS ftp config is simple, just that the network part is really mess up.
especially with NAT, passive mode, RRAS, and this one 2 NIC setup.

good luck.

I think that I will have to give up on this. I had wanted to set up sFTP
and
felt that getting FTP running was a good prerequisite.

Yes the server has 2 NIC's. NIC 1 is an internal NIC to the internal
network. When I connect from a different server I can run any FTP
command.
However, I can't use 'get' even if I have the file name and the dir /
ls
command does not return any results even with files in the directory. I
have
the users permissions set to read and list.
From the external NIC we use VPN. There is no Firewall in place for
this.
I
want to get a firewall with a DMZ on it but that hasn't happened yet.
From
outside the company which i try from home, everything is the same as
inside
the company except after the dir command or the get command the
connection
drops in 15 - 20 seconds.

Could this be related to IIS settings? I had always understood that
setting
up FTP was quite easy.

Sorry, been busy.
For external nic, any firewall in between. it still looks like some
port
blocking issue to me.

Yes, That is correct. 2 NIC,s 1 internal on standard class C and 1
external
VPN. I can login on both NIC's. If I DIR on internal it does not
show
me
the
file(s) but stays connected. The external drops the connection about
20
seconds after the DIR command.

As I understand from your posts, your have a ftp server with 2 NIC,
the internal NIC connected to internal LAN work fine, right?
can login and dir listing? but not the external nic for vpn access.
correct
?

I have one file in the directory. it is called banner.txt. It will
become
my
FTP login usage warning. All computers are the same standard
Class C
subnet.
