You asked: "Is there some other thing I need to do?"
Yes there is, fully understand how passive mode FTP works for both your FTP Server and the FTP Client used to access it. So you can configure your systems and firewalls correctly. The reading list can help immensely, unless you are too lazy to read and study and just want everything spoon feed to you.

I am using the FTP service on an up-to-date WinXP SP2 with Windows
Firewall. When I connect to it from Fetch 3.0.3 in PASV mode over my LAN the data connection stalls part way through the directory listing. I can get it to work by disabling the Windows Firewall, or by using PORT and disabling the Mac's firewall. I have added a Program Exception for inetinfo.exe, but that had no affect on the problem. Restarting the FTP service has no affect either. Is there some other thing I need to do? Is this a bug, and if so where should I report it? ________________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' *firstname*nlsnews@georgea*lastname*.com
All of those articles talk about how passive mode FTP control and data
channels are set up and what ports need to be accessible and in which directions etc. - firewall All are pertinent.

Probably you are confused about my post. If you have a question about
it, please ask. I already know what PASV mode is, so your reading list is not pertinent. I just want to find out how to get the IIS FTP server to work with the Windows Firewall, when I have already set a Program exception for inetinfo.exe. If anyone understands my issue, please chime in.

Allen, I will respond in detail. Anyone else, please read my original
post and respond to it. [quoted text, click to view] As my post showed, I already know what PASV FTP is. This article is not pertinent. [quoted text, click to view] I stated that I'm using WinXP. This article is for Windows Server 2000 and 2003, and is not pertinent for WinXP. It discusses limiting the offered port range. This is also not pertinent. The problem I'm having is with the Windows Firewall, which this article does not mention. This article is not pertinent. [quoted text, click to view] This article is about Internet Explorer, on Windows Server 2003. I am not connecting with Internet Explorer. I as connecting with Fetch 3.0.3 from a Mac. This article is not pertinent. [quoted text, click to view] This article is about Internal SecureNAT and Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA) Firewall on a client. I am using a Mac. This article is not pertinent. [quoted text, click to view] This article applies to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I am using Windows XP. This article is not pertinent. None of the articles you posted are pertinent to my configuration. Before responding again, pick only articles that apply to Windows XP SP2, IIS FTP server, Windows Firewall, and PASV mode. As I stated in my original post below, the IIS FTP server works in PASV mode if the Windows Firewall is disabled. IIS FTP server should work with the Windows Firewall enabled. I hope that someone who understands this issue responds with how to do it.

Arrgghh so you got 2 firewall in place.......
does it work with just Windows firewall on with the inetinfo.exe exception? As for the passive port range, I don't think it applies to win xp. I think I have tested that in the past. I have seen other users claiming that setting up the exception works, but I have also seen other claimed that it is not working for them. For my own test in the past. it works with exception turned on. whether is a bug or not - no idea. you can try microsoft PSS and engage their support. note: you might need to pay $$ upfront. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Tony Nelson" <*firstname*nlsnews@georgea*lastname*.com> wrote in message news:*firstname*nlsnews-0C308A.20123026082006@msnews.microsoft.com... >I am using the FTP service on an up-to-date WinXP SP2 with Windows > Firewall.

No. The client can LS in PASV mode with the Windows Firewall off. The client can LS in PORT mode with the client's firewall off. The client cannot LS in PASV mode with the Windows Firewall on, even if the client firewall is off. [quoted text, click to view] > As for the passive port range, I don't think it applies to win xp.

It sounds like a bug somewhere between the FTP server and the Windows Firewall. The Windows Firewall log does not show any dropped packets for that port. ISTM that Windows Firewall has the port half-open, in a confused state. I don't have enough (modern or WinTel) machines to try to view the traffic on the wire.

> Can I report a bug without paying money? I do own a legal copy of WinXP. You can try to call local MS office and see what they recommend... For standard MS PSS support, even you have a legal copy - this is like support case to them. Don't think you have a support contract with them. so you need to open a case - that will cause err 245USD or something equivalent to your local currency. This is just upfront payment, if they discovered that this is a bug! they will refund. if it's pure configuration issue, hehe! you will pay for it. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Tony Nelson" <*firstname*nlsnews@georgea*lastname*.com> wrote in message news:*firstname*nlsnews-74ABD8.13501228082006@msnews.microsoft.com... > In article <OpM1zpmyGHA.3568@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl>, > "Bernard Cheah [MVP]" <qbernard@hotmail.com.discuss> wrote: > >> Arrgghh so you got 2 firewall in place....... >> does it work with just Windows firewall on with the inetinfo.exe >> exception? > > No. > > The client can LS in PASV mode with the Windows Firewall off. > The client can LS in PORT mode with the client's firewall off. > > The client cannot LS in PASV mode with the Windows Firewall on, even if > the client firewall is off. > >> As for the passive port range, I don't think it applies to win xp.

Well, if neither you nor I know of a way to report bugs, then likely there isn't one. Tough for Microsoft. It is rather a security issue, since the workaround is to turn off their Windows Firewall. ________________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' *firstname*nlsnews@georgea*lastname*.com
LOL..but it should work when exception is defined for inetinfo.exe, right?
I will ping around and see if any MS ppl like to verify this internally. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Tony Nelson" <*firstname*nlsnews@georgea*lastname*.com> wrote in message news:*firstname*nlsnews-919145.00570329082006@msnews.microsoft.com... > In article <usl4s4xyGHA.1288@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl>, > "Bernard Cheah [MVP]" <qbernard@hotmail.com.discuss> wrote: > >> > Can I report a bug without paying money?

Perhaps it should, but it does not work here. It appears that the data port is half-open, able to send packets but not receive ACKs, so it stalls after a partial directory listing. I don't have enough (Wintel) computers here to verify that on the wire.

Hi, I just switched to Windows Firewall after using ZoneAlarm Firewall (which had no problems with FTP). Am having the same problem with Win XP Service Pack 2 (and all MS updates) and Windows Firewall NOT allowing exception to allow an application (FTP) or telnet to pierce the firewall. When searching on the internet for a solution, I came upon this discussion. This is a bug with Win XP/Win Firewall I am sure as I then tried my old computer with same FTP configuration and FTP worked. When setting the exception within Windows Security Center/Windows Firewall, the FTP program is properly listed, but it does not allow FTP to work at all. Connection fails. Even after specifically making another exception (just to be sure) for Port 21, FTP connect still fails. The Windows Firewall exceptions dialog is not working as it should.
I found an answer to the problem for me at another site. Symantec/Norton Antivirus has "Internet Worm Protection" (which previously didn't interfere). They mentioned this problem, so I tried turning Norton Internet Worm Protection off and my FTP program is working just fine! So, I was mistaken. It was not Windows Firewall, but rather Norton's Internet Worm Protection. And with that, even after setting Internet Worm Protection to allow my FTP program, it did not. I had to turn it off to get the FTP to work. Hope this helps any who are having this problem.
sorry for the three posts. By going to FTP Planet, I found how to get Norton's Internet Worm Protection to allow FTP. You have to go to the Internet Worm Protection: Trojan rules and all the way down at the bottom of the list there is a checked box for "Unused Windows Services BLock" which needs to be unchecked. THEN, Internet Worm Protection allows the FTP. Windows Firewall has nothing to do with it at least in my situation, though it appeared to be that.

That could apply to you. but many users don't have Norton Internet worm
protection, yet stuck with the same error. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Ron P" <anonymous@devdex.com> wrote in message news:ugte24o0GHA.4648@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > > > sorry for the three posts. > > By going to FTP Planet, I found how to get Norton's Internet Worm > Protection to allow FTP.
