FTP Firewall Windows 2003 SP2

[stowasserr]

After installing the latest Windows 2003 updates (Service Pack 2?) the FTP server for all my clients is being blocked by the firewall. Connections are established but then immediately closed by the firewall. The firewall rules as set in Plesk control panel are all OK and should be allowing FTP.

The only way I can get FTP running is to switch the firewall off.

Any ideas?

The solution from swf support was as folows:

On the server go to control panel/windows firewall. Click the Exceptions tag and add an exception for port 21 +/- port 20. Click the Advanced tab and select the relevant Network connection and click settings. Uncheck the FTP server under services.

Seems weird but the FTP server must be UNchecked in the advanced settings.
