I've been unable to find an official document yet, but I found this

http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/386/17/3.html

which says IIS does support STOU (I've never had occasion to use it myself
so can't say from that point of view). From your log there it looks like the
SITE command is what went wrong first. what's the client in question here?

One of the UNIX guys is complaining after we upgraded an NT4.0 box running
SERVE-U FTP server to a windows 2000 box running IIS5 that his STOU command
no longer works.

Does IIS5.0 support the STOU command? (below is the output from his UNIX box)

230 User monitor logged in.

EZA1460I Command:

EZA1736I CD INPUTQ

EZA1701I >>> CWD INPUTQ

250 CWD command successful.

The error message here is giving you the clue - the STOU command does not
take a parameter.

From RFC 959 (the standard for FTP):

" 5.3.1. FTP COMMANDS

The following are the FTP commands:

....
STOR <SP> <pathname> <CRLF>
STOU <CRLF>"
....

STOR takes a pathname, STOU does not. The FTP client in question is not
RFC-compliant in this regard, and needs to be fixed.

Alun.
