Help,
  I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I've installed SBS2003
comfortably and I'm trying to get an FTP server running on it. I
understand the security issues involved but...

  Anyway, I'm running a stock SBS premium server with ISA firewall. I
have two FTP sites on it that run. For both sites I can transfer a few
files to the remote location and then the transfer grinds to a halt.

  Here's a typical piece of the log from AceFTP

TYPE A

Does anyone have aay idea of what's going on here? I seem to be losing
parts of a packet.
