iis ftp:
Hello, I installed IIS and FTP services on my computer and set up the default ftp site. I can ftp and log in to the machine using localhost but when I goto another machine, I cannot. I can ping the IP address of the ftp server, but when I try to ftp to it, it lags while it says "Connected to..." then it says "Connection closed by remote host". Can someone advise me? Thanks R
a) can you ping your server from remote machine ?
b) is the replied IP correct ? c) any firewall/router in between ? or is it same lan? d) give more detail, e.g. OS, ftp client software and etc. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.tryiis.com/ http://support.microsoft.com/ http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Rainstorms21" <rainstorms21@--nospam--comcast.net> wrote in message news:OxW8vfBqEHA.3592@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > > Hello, > I installed IIS and FTP services on my computer and set up the default ftp > site.

Sorry about that... a) yes, I can ping from the remote machine, IP is correct c) they are on the same lan and there is a firewall on the ftp server d) both are running windows xp and I was just using the command prompt to open the ftp connection I just tried turning off the firewall and it connected! is there a way I can keep the firewall up for this to work? Thanks.

You can keep your firewall up if you configure it to forward ftp ports (20
and 21) to your server IP. If you want to make your ftp server accesible for external users, you need to get an static IP address from your ISP. Elga. [quoted text, click to view] "Rainstorms21" wrote:

actually... the ftp worked inside my wireless lan. but no one externally can reach it because the IP address is internal. How can I find a way for ppl outside the lan to reach it? Thanks.

No. That's not correct, and could potentially cause harm, as it opens up an incoming channel that will not be used by the component you are trying to enable. Port 21 - yes, this one does need to be allowed for incoming connection requests. Port 20, however, needs to be allowed for _outgoing_ connection requests - the FTP server, in active mode, will bind to its port 20 before connecting out to the client's random ephemeral port. In passive mode, the FTP server will listen for incoming connections on a range of ports, by default from 1024 - 5000 (that can be changed to a different range) - it is that range that you will need to forward incoming requests through. As Bernard has also posted, the page at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283679 gives you more detail on this.

I've run my home connection using a dynamic IP address quite successfully for many years, just by using one of many dynamic DNS services.
