We have IIS6. I have set up an FTP server. I can access it locally by
FTP://srv1/swiff but when I try ftp://80.5.54.164/swiff the login fails.

This ftp directory is the same as a web virtual directory which works fine
so I presum all mt permissions are set right.

Cheers

I have un ticked the allow anonymous users in IIS. I can login via ftp.exe
via a user account.
This works for srv1 or 80.5.54.164.
srv1/swiff or 80.5.54.164/swiff give unknown host error.
Once logged into srv1 I can run cd swiff I then do dir and gt the directory
listing
When I do the same with 80.5.54.164 I can run cd swiff but when I do dir I
get:
500 Invalid port command
150 Opening Ascii mode data conection for /bin/ls

The dos box just then hangs.

I cannot log in using IE. Both logins fail ie on ftp://srv1 or
ftp://80.5.54.164

We are using sbs 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=281193
say's it is for NT4 & 2000. I do not understand where I apply the command.

I have change the explorer setting and I just get a page cannot be displayed
error.

From Firefox I get the login screen and error: 426 connection closed

From IE6 I get:
An error occured opening that folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have
permission to access folder
Details
200 Type set to A
227(entering passive mode)(192.168.0.1,97,52)
426 connection closed; transfer aborted

Hope this helps

Cheers

when you use ftp.exe, just specify the host or ip name.

This looks like NAT + ftp passive mode issue since you able to access via
ftp.exe active mode.

Are you binding the site other than port 21?
FTP Error: 500 Invalid PORT Command
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=281193

also if you make IE becomes active mode, does it works?

For IIS 6.0, I believe it still applied.
For IE, have you restart IE after you enable the ftp folder view?
Try it on locally first.
