FTP Problems

[hollywoodjrc]

Every time we've tried to connect to one of our FTP sites, we run into the following problem(s). Does anyone know how to work around this?

Thank you!

Try stopping and disabling "Routing and Remote Access" from Windows Services console

i had had such an issue and worked a week to debug and resolve this.

let me know if that helps cause i plan to sue Microsoft for adding such garbage services and causing runtime failiures

That worked wonderfully!

Thank you so much for your help! I was about ready to rip out every firewall and eventually start from scratch because I was so frustrated.


Thanks again!

i really want to meet XP , Win 2003 & .NET developer guys to spit on them

I'm troubleshooting a similar issue with my server where the ftp client can't list the contents of a particular folder.

I disabled the plesk firewall and now i can access it just fine.

what did you use to replace the windows firewall? I dont feel like leaving my server without a firewall.

Thanks in Advance

Disable passive connections in your FTP Program. Enable Active Connections.

Same thing here

Disabling passive mode the problem number one is solved

But the problem number two (send files bigger than 1,5mb) still on my plesk server

Disable the firewall is not the best solution i think

 

[atinoco]

Do you know how to disable passive connections on MS-FTP server?

I read a possible solution here:

http://forum.sw-soft.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=133357

haven't tested it yet, I will try tomorrow.

Feel free to post any other ideas

Please forgive me if I am asking a really sill question.

I have a client who has uploaded a website with ftp into httpdocs. When you visit www.domain.com it comes up with a Fedora Core Test Page which says (apart from other stuff):

If you are the website administrator:
You may now add content to the directory /var/www/html/. Note that until you do so, people visiting your website will see this page, and not your content. To prevent this page from ever being used, follow the instructions in the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf.

Neither of the 2 directories above exist in the files.

When you visit www.domain.com/index.htm it them shows up as it should, but clearly they would only want their customers to type www.domain.com in order to get to the website.

Can anybody help me to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

When you visit www.domain.com/index.htm it them shows up as it should, but clearly they would only want their customers to type www.domain.com in order to get to the website.

You should make sure that the account has .htm listed in the "Directory indexes" for IIS manager.

The main problem is that some people who are behind firewalls or routers need passive transfer mode to reach the ftp server, why does it not work, is there a bug?

 

[Traged1]

It appears to be a bug in IIS ftp, it appears that using the "-" hyphen character is stalling the passive ftp transfer LIST action. You should either try using active transfers or renaming any files with the hyphen in them, the underscore character does not reproduce the same problem, so I wouls suggest renaming the files with - to _ untill microsoft fixes this bug?
