Ftp Server HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[raban]

Hi I am trying to setup ftp server, but I can access to it from out side of my local network. I tried to open port 21 on my router and tried to DMZ ftp server in router configuration, also tied to work with strait connection to ADSL modem same result
"Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.
Details: The connection with the server was reset"

I have tried to set permissions to anonymous connection and windows domain control, but I am getting same results

PLEASE HELP

Forgto to meantion that i am using windows 2000 server IIS 5

Using what software?What OS? Are you trying to use Windows FTP? With IIS5 make sure you have permissions set on the folder you are using for FTP properly. Serv-U works better for me because it is faster and safer because you don't have to worry about any clients using their username to hack your OS as the accounts are specific to the software only.

IIS is complicated. Have you tried another FTP software like Bulletproof FTP server? If the same problem happens without the router then it could be some software setting or you are behind a firewall.

IF you have windows firewall or any firewall disable it.
Use a better ftp client.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla

so you can see the problem in detail.

You also might want to try connecting using an actual FTP Client as it seems you're trying to connect using Internet Explorer at the moment. Pick up something like CuteFTP or FlashFXP and then try connecting, it should give you a more detailed error message.

And as other's have suggested, make sure you have permissions to that folder, and that you've set proper access permissions to that folder within the FTP Server as well.

Are you on Telus?

Yes I am on telus

i tried third party ftp servers same problem

[GTI]

Telus is somehow blocking FTP. It used to work on port 21 fine. Then they blocked it. So people moved to other ports and then they did something weird where you can log in fine, but then it get's stuck when trying to list the directory. I tried active and passive and no luck. I was using serv-u server. Web server seems to work on other ports though. I'm stuck too

[raban]

I did install Serv-u and same problem. I also asked my friend to login from ftp client program and here what he got

SmartFTP v1.1.985.6
Resolving host name raban.sytes.net...
Connecting to (raban.sytes.net) -> IP: 154.20.225.177 PORT: 21
Connected to (raban.sytes.net) -> Time = 156ms
Socket connected waiting for login sequence.
Connection timeout. No response from server.

I start to belive that Telus did do some thing weird as "GDI" posted priveosly.
