Im having the same (or very similar) problem. I set up XP IIS FTP server last
night. I, too, am behind a firewall and a router, and have set the ports
appropriately. Yet I keep getting the logon box that will not allow access to
either the name or the anonymous account. I can see by the status bar at the
bottom of the browser that the site has been connected with, it's just waiting
for the logon box to accept the password. But that friggin' box just keep
popping back up and doesnt open on through. What else is there to do?

Yes, both 20 & 21 are open. I can use WS_FTP, but not IE6. Maybe someone out
there knows something else to do and can help us.

Have you set IE for passive mode?

I have my ftp site set up, last night when I used IE to login to the site
from home I kept getting access denied, but using ws_ftp client I could
access just fine, create and delete directories without any problem. The FTP
server is behind a firewall, but I have port 21 forwarding to the client. Is
there anything else I need to do on the firwall, or is this something I
should do to IE?

I vaguely remember reading someplace that you have to open up port 20 when
using IE as the FTP client, but have also heard that only 21 is needed so
that's all I currently have open. Have you tried using other clients?

Hi Nathan,

There are two items in IE options that you should check.=20
Go to Tools|Internet Options...|Advanced=20
a.. Check the line "Enable folder view for FTP sites."=20
b.. Uncheck the line "Use Passive FTP(for firewall and DSL modem =
compatibility)"=20
You should, then, be able to access your FTP site via IE.

I replied to Nathan in this thread, but I will reply again:

a.. Check the line "Enable folder view for FTP sites."
b.. Uncheck the line "Use Passive FTP(for firewall and DSL modem

a.. Check the line "Enable folder view for FTP sites."

the above will force IE to be active mode client, regardless of 'Use Passive
Ftp' status.
