IIS5.1 WinXPpro SP2 running fine
but my FTP site is always stopped. If I try to start it, MMC gives me a
timeout error. Account is anonymous for now, I never was able to start it
since installation of IIS.

Any ideas ?

Hy

How did you configure FTP after installation? If eventlog doesn't show some
useful info, reinstal it and leave all settings default. After you can always
finetune!

I reinstalled it and got the same result. So I went to Admin tools /
services and guess what : it wasn't even started, simply deactivated. XP is
some weird beast.

Anyway, now I can start my FTP site and showed the proper route (21) to my
router. Somehow, yesterday evening, somebody outside was able to access it
as anonymous but today, from work, can't access either my FTP nor my wwroot.
We don't have a firewall at work (just a small place where's the boss
doesn't invest in computers ;()

Just came back from work, and nothing shows. The logfile shows this :

13:35:13 217.XXX.155.201 [6]USER anonymous 331
13:35:13 217.XXX.155.201 [6]PASS Cgpuser@home.com 230

14:44:22 217.XXX.155.193 [8]PASS - 530

18:27:32 207.XXX.210.156 [12]PASS IEUser@ 230

(XXX done on purpose)

Any ideas ?

From the log, anonymous login is working
however, the account doens't have the privileges to create the directory.

you need to ensure anonymous account (iusr a/c) has WRITE permissions.
note: allowing anonymous write access is not a good idea, try these...
