iis ftp : Ftp between Windows 2000 Professional and OS/2

Hi guys,

Could you please assist me in solving this problem. I have a machine running on Windows NT and my client's machine running on OS/2. The ftp is working fine between OS/2 and Windows NT. Our Windows NT is a passive ftp whereby our client's machine logs into the Windows NT machine and transfers some files stored in a folder from our machine to the OS/2 machine through a leased line on a WAN environment. This works fine. However, when we changed from Windows NT to Windows 2000 Professional machine, the user from OS/2 can login into our machine via a ftp program (it's an automated program) but could not see the files on that particular folder even though the files are there. IIS Admin Service and FTP Publishing Service is running. Is there any compatibility problem between the Windows 2000 Professional and OS/2 ? The user id for OS/2 is created in the Windows 2000 and they use this user id t login with administrator rights.

Please help as I desperately need to upgrade to Windows 2000.

No compatibility issues. Most likely is a permissions issue. Have
you checked the FTP logs?

The other thing to try, as always, is the command-line FTP client, from the
server machine, connecting to itself, to see whether this would work
without the network in between. It's possible that the NT box that worked
used some different network settings from the 2000 one that doesn't.

Alun.
