The old IIS FTP was a holdover from IIS6. A brand new integrated IIS FTP was 
released out-of-band for IIS7. This includes new features like an equivalent 
for HTTP Host headers for FTPS (Rob, the IIS PM leading this co-wrote the RFC)

I gave up on IIS FTP ages ago. Gazillions of settings in unpredictable places 
make it a security nightmare apart from anything else. Suggest you use 
FileZilla server. It's quick and easy to install and use.

Didn't we go through all of these in October last year?

No, it was all reversed back then. An app was trying to talk to the outside 
world, and it turned out the author of the C++ code was not familiar with PASV 
and once he flipped that on in code everything worked. I wasted days on testing 
with ftp.exe<ftp://ftp.exe> not realising that it didn't support PASV mode.

Today I just want to get a vanilla IIS FTP site working.
