inetserver iis : A strange error in FTP on IIS6 and connection through ftp client

Hy Guys

I've a really strange error while trying to connect to a remote server
of my own via CuteFTP.

I get "Can't read from control socket. Socket error = #10054" error
message. Just after logged in, while cute try to browse the folder
list. It's not a login trouble, as you see, nor firewall. I underline
that I'm able to log in to the server, and a log analyze report
successfull connection to the server.
Using the ms-dos ftp I could login and browse the folder without
matter.

The strange thing is that this server has 4 IP address and if I use
the original (first address) in the list I could access, and browse
the folders. If I change the IP to the second or third or fourth
address (correctly setupping the firewall too) I get that message.

I don't think this is a problem of passive mode. using the adsutil to
query the service with the /MSFTPSVC/PassivePortRange the results is
no passive port setup. So they doesn't exist also for the main
address.

I then tried to switch the address order, to see if that solve the
problems. But same as before. I'm not able to realize the problem.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks for any reply

A little note. Probably in the test made before I forgot to press the
latest ok. I confirm that swapping the IP, so make a secondary ip the
first in the list (in sense of the order) let cuteftp browse folders
without matters.

It's a strange thing that I don't realize if is a MS FTP problem or a
Cute problem.
Reading about the same error, I read lot of posts, but all with
different scenario, but also see that same error is returned also by
WS FTP. So it seems that that error message comes from the FTP server.
But why via MS Dos is possible to log in and browse folder?

Thanks
Andrea
