Re: 2008 FTP Virtual Directory

Hi,

This issue could related to Windows Firewall since Passive FTP requires the
server to open a data port and control port for client. Data connection is
separate than the typical port 21 that is used for the control channel. The
second connection is used when data files are transferred back to the client.

Hope it helps.

Hello,
I have no idea why my reply never showed up but I would guess it has to do
with a firewall blocking your connection - try doing it on the local area
network - see if you see the directory locally when you connect via ftp.

Hi Boe,

Once it connects, I can transfer files but it takes a long time to
connect.
