Windows server 2008 r2 ftp setup help + filezilla server

ftpiis-7windowswindows-server-2008

Hey all i have followed this page to a "T": http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/321/configure-ftp-with-iis-7-manager-authentication/

in setting up the FTP server. I have also done the firewall thing with the svchost giving that permission.

I use the command prompt to test the ftp and i always get

ftp>

It never asked me for a user name or password.

When i type this into a browser:

ftp.myservernamehere.com:30001

it prompts me for a username and password which i enter what i added in those steps above and it never logs me in!!!! Keeps asking for username and password!!!

What in the world am i doing wrong?!?!?

Best Answer

Firstly, I would recommend that you stop using the command prompt and certainly stop using Internet Explorer for connecting to an FTP. Use a decent FTP program instead, something like FileZilla which will show you the server responses you receive which you can use to resolve your login issues.

As for the lonely ftp>, if you start a command prompt and type ftp you'll get nothing more than an ftp> prompt. You need to type in open ftp.domain.com at this prompt before you'll be requested to log in with a username or password (unless you typed ftp ftp.domain.com in the first instance!)

So, two options:

C:\Users\User>ftp

ftp>open ftp.domain.com:30001

or

C:\Users\User>ftp ftp.domain.com:30001

I've got an FTP running on Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS Manager users so if you need anything further, let me know.
