STRANGE FTP LOGIN BEHAVIOR



STRANGE FTP LOGIN BEHAVIOR Joe
4/24/2006 1:21:02 PM
iis ftp: I recently inherited a Windows Web Edition 2003 server running IIS. The
client wants to use the FTP services available in IIS 6.0. No problem.
Unfortunately, we are experiencing the following behavior.

Login attemp occurs using a FTP client on the client computer. Username
and password are entered (anonymous is not activiated) once and rejected. I
get a 530 1326 error in my MSFTPSVC log. Then, immediately after that, user
trys again, using the same username and password and gets in. The event log
shows a successful 203 event.

The sessions also hang sometimes and they dont' show contents of FTP site
once loaded.

Since this is a brand new server, not in production yet, I uninstalled IIS
6.0 and all of its supporting services. Reinstalled. I have the same
results. At one time I had AbilityFTPHost loaded (to alllow secure FTP),
but I have removed that as well and tried and IIS reload.

I can't get any additional detail on net on the 530 error. So, I am a
little perplexed.

Also, I am NOT running ISA server on this web edition of 2003 server.

Thanks. I had already done that. I totally agree with the login issue. It
should either work or not work. I'll keep working on it.

Well, enable logon auditing to capture why login failed.
This is weird, I mean it either can login or can't login at all...

For 530, you can see
Error message in IIS: "530 User <Username> cannot log in. Login failed."

I ended up uninstalling IIS. After reinstall, everything worked fine. Very
strange. It looked like a rebuild was going to be easier than to find the
error.
