iis ftp : Directory Listing Failure (sometimes)
I've got a very strange problem with IIS6.0 FTP Service. I've setup the Metabase to set a specific portrange for PASV. This all works as intended. However, I now run into a strange problem where I'm not able to browse a particular folder when it included a particular file. If I remove, move or rename the file, directory listing works. If I create a new file with that filename (in this case filedownload.aspx) it doesn't work either. It seems I only run into this issue with PASV connections. The name of the folder the file is in is called 'administration'. Has anyone else ever ran into such issues / knows how to resolve this
I've seen it happen before on one different occasion. In that case we could
remove the file; but in this case we cant and the client doesnt want to update their code (which I do understand). It's not a public server, unfortunatly; but I did manage to create a new Windows User account with just listing permissions, so you should be able to "see" what's going wrong. Could you please send me an email, so I can send to the test credentials? [quoted text, click to view] "Bernard Cheah [MVP]" wrote:

Might be usefull to know, for example with LeechFTP, it allways seems to
"hang" at "Retrieving dir list: 2.795 bytes".. Might it have to do with network settings as MTU-sizes maybe? [quoted text, click to view] "Bernard Cheah [MVP]" wrote:

Hi Bernard,
The issue has been resolved. I allmost daren't say.. but it seems that the Windows Firewall was enabled on the machine (*shame*). Still I'd weird and I cant see any logic in this, but the issue is gone. Since the machine is behind a normal switch (and no firewall), I've enabled Routing and RAS instead (and set this up accordingly). I don't know if the issue is reproducable, but if it is, then it's a simple few steps: - Enable the Windows Firewall/ICS Service - Create the required firewall rules; if required, dunno - Install IIS and FTP - No do yet put in the PassivePortRange in the MetaBase - Create a folder named 'administration' - Create a file in this folder called 'filedownload.aspx' - Create a Windows Account, name it TestAccount - Create a Virtual Folder within the FTP, with the names TestAccount (the same name as the Windows account) and point that to the 'administation' folder, or it's root. - Try to connect through FTP/PASV and login with TestAccount Once you want to list the directory 'administration' this issue should show itself; that is, if it's reproducable.

If you rename it then it works? if you are 100% sure that you can reproduce
and this is a bug, ring up Microsoft support and they will fix it for free. I will be traveling for the next two weeks, so you can skip the email. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Peter Elbertse" <PeterElbertse@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:73BC9D38-3238-4F91-AC69-B689FDF59E03@microsoft.com... > I've seen it happen before on one different occasion.

well it could be, but the default one should work just fine.
also if you access via active mode say ftp.exe - can you download the file or view the folder listing? -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Peter Elbertse" <PeterElbertse@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:65A436AC-856C-4FA4-A24A-5A4EB010E5A4@microsoft.com... > Might be usefull to know, for example with LeechFTP, it allways seems to > "hang" at "Retrieving dir list: 2.795 bytes".. > > Might it have to do with network settings as MTU-sizes maybe? > > "Bernard Cheah [MVP]" wrote: > >> Weird... only somtimes ? >> and I have yet to see a file/folder name that relate to this. >> >> is this public? test url ? >> >> -- >> Regards, >> Bernard Cheah >> http://www.iis.net/ >> http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ >> >> >> "Peter Elbertse" <PeterElbertse@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in >> message >> news:AACE3C98-76A8-455F-B178-CBA8960AB202@microsoft.com... >> > Hello, >> > >> > I've got a very strange problem with IIS6.0 FTP Service.
