Hi

I am having a bit of trouble with FTP. I have set up FTP on my server, which
works fine, but as soon as I enable the firewall the passive FTP does not
work. Passive FTP uses 2 ports to transfer data , one is for the connection
(21) and the other random port is used for the actual data transfer.

I have setup IIS to use only certain ports using the cscript.exe adsutil.vbs
set /MSFTPSVC/PassivePortRange "5001-5201" Command and opened up those ports
on the firewall. Now sometimes I can connect and at other times I can’t – I
can’t access certain folder either.

How can I solve this issue?
