sql server odbc : How to FTP via VPN to sites with real adresses on different IP's ?

Hi,

I am using Windows 2003 Server. The VPN works fine, but I want to FTP
through the VPN so the connection is encrypted. The problem is each of my
IIS sites has a real Internet address specified, w.x.y.z. So when the VPN
comes up using a private IP, I can't connect to any of the FTP sites using
the VPN server's IP, 10.10.10.2. Could you give me specific directions how
to deal with this?

Thank you for your help.

Hi

Am I correct in saying that you are trying to access an FTP site on your SBS
server? And presumably it has two network cards? If this is the case then
open up the IIS services manager, FTP sites, then right click and select
properties, then check under IP address that your internal IP address is
selected, this will mean that the ftp site is not available from your
external IP address though.

To be honest I'm entirely sure of your setup from the posting, the other
understanding I had would mean going down the line of setting up a static
route on the VPN router to ensure those packets are routed over the VPN
rather that the network.

Hope this helps

Dan
