Didn't we go through all of these in October last year? Are you actually trying to use FTP through your NAT router? If so, are you using Active or Passive FTP? It makes a big difference. Username/password is transmitted on the control channel (-> server:port 21), so that should always go through.

In the IIS ftproot bindings I noticed the IP address was present, so I changed it to All Unassigned. Now ftp.exe<ftp://ftp.exe> is working nicely. FileZilla connects but times out listing the user's folder contents. IE prompts for a user/password and seems to connect but soon says "page can't be displayed". So it's neither fixed nor broken now, I'm left in a bewildered state where I don't know what's right or wrong. What else would you expect?!

IIS seems to configured correctly (I think), I can see port 21 open to the world via Shields-Up, tcpmon shows 21 is listening, FTP is set to use basic authentication. So it "looks" alright, but all attempts to connect fail. IE says "The page can't be displayed". Filezilla says "can't connect to the server". Ftp.exe<ftp://Ftp.exe> says "Connection closed by the remote host". I just can't get any reason why it's failing? IIS FTP says it's logging but there are no files. Can anyone think of any trick to get more useful information about why it's failing? Greg K
