Tell us the OS as well, since it could be different issues depending on OS.
There have been a couple in this forum with the same problem over the past few
weeks. I dont have the answer, and it appears that the other's havent been able to make IIS-FTP work either. Good luck.

Ooh :(
If you decided to try again. I would recommend you to test login locally at the ftp server first, if you can't, and get a 530 login, check if user has logon locally right, whether account is disabled/lock etc. Anyway, event log / IIS log file will give you more clues. Once everything is tested lcoally, then try from another station at the same LAN (if you have), if not then only try ftp'ing remotely. and ....... -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.microsoft.com/iis/ http://www.iiswebcastseries.com/ http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "John Thomas" <Almanaticus@netscape.net> wrote in message news:bxqte.6898$jX6.4681@newsread2.news.pas.earthlink.net... > > "Bernard Cheah [MVP]" <qbernard@hotmail.com.discuss> wrote in message > news:eIA3LDUdFHA.3060@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... >> For starter, what's the error msgs when you try to login ? >> > > > Oh, I gave up on it several months ago.

Nope. But if the question had been asked, the answer would have instructed them in doing this. Instructions for using the Windows firewall are easily available. Disabling securtiy instead of correctly configuring security tools can lead to other problems. If their system works fine this way, then congratulations. But for others who read the post in Google, it's important they realize that disabling the firewall and losing all protection isn't the only option they have. For those that want to know how to use the Windows Firewall and allow services such as FTP access, a good starting point is here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;875357

You are presuming that everyone else has the same technical know-how you do. Simply saying something needs to be done, and using terminology and processes that not everyone understands, only adds to the frustration of something Im sure is simple, if it were only explained in simple terms. Try teaching like a teacher, and others can more easily understand what you are trying to convey.

Try teaching like a teacher, >and others can more easily understand what you are trying to convey. So what would you like to know? The post I responded to stated simply that the solution found by the poster was to disable the firewall entirely. I simply stated that opening the correct ports instead of disabling the firewall would be a better option. Where did anyone get the idea that I should be conducting a lesson on opening firewall ports? And did the KB article I listed not help? Okay, how about this then: Go to Network Connections in the Control Panel, right click on your network connection and choose Properties. Choose the Advanced tab and make sure Protect My Computer is checked. That turns on the Windows firewall. To allow access for FTP, click on the Settings button, check the FTP Server box. If you don't see an FTP Server option, it's because you haven't installed FTP yet. Click Okay until you've closed all the windows. Is that sufficient? If you need more, look at: How to manually open ports in Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308127 How to configure the Windows Firewall feature in Windows XP Service Pack 2: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;875356 There's also a decent explanation in your help files, and Google will list dozens of sites with detailed instructions including pictures. Class dismissed.
