Question : FTP not working on Windows Server 2008 IIS 7

I setup FTP on a Windows Server 2008 box with IIS 7. Can FTP using IE on the server but it doesn't work anywhere else. Port in router is forwarded to port 21.

Can use a command prompt from a workstation to ftp and it works. Will not work from IE or any FTP client.

Hi,

Wan,Lan or internet, as long as the serverip is reachable and the firewalls are open, you can connect. with IIS5/6 you could do the following.

Ftp://user:password@ftpserver/url-path

Now as of last year, IE7 and 8 required the following fix on the client or else the userid was not processed.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE]
"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000000
"explorer.exe"=dword:00000000

Let us know,
