ok so i recently had everything on IIS working perfectly, and i dont know what changed. My website www.guitaronline.co.nz is working, all seems fine there, all that is wrong is the FTP. When i go to Add FTP Publishing, i set it up with access for users "Administartor" and allow SSL IP address all unassigned on port 21. The ftp directory is pointing to the wwwroot, as i want to be able to edit website file over FTP. All this was working before, and now the connection just times out.

When connecting to the FTP (in map driver in My Computer) it promps for login, then enter Administrator and password, then the connection just times out!

any ideas? also the site name of the connection has a question markon it when i add FTP publishing??


this has really stumped me?

how can i remove the IIS role and install to factory defaults?? when i reinstall it it loads all the old files and settings?

PS. ive been having some issues with snap in lately, could this be related?

Thanks
 
The problem seems to be the binding. When you have FTP and HTTP together you may have a question mark but this doesn't mean there's an error. Probably your server doesn't know how to authenticate you. I'm not sure, but I *THINK* that FTP cannot exist with anonymous authentication of HTTP.
 
try to completely remove IIS:

Step 1: Remove IIS
To remove IIS, follow these steps:

In Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
Click Application Server, and then click Details.
Click Internet Information Services (IIS), and then click Details.
Click to clear the check boxes for all subcomponents except Common Files, click OK two times, and then click Next.
Follow the instructions to complete the process.

Ah this is a bit of a major as i have just installed mysql, php5 and phpmyadmin

It worked before its bringing up a connection timeout
 
How did you setup ftp?

You have to use IIS 6 manager to manage FTP sites. Install it using server manager and then try to reconfig the ftp site.
 
Thats exactly what i did. Im using iis to manage ftp sits. Right click on a site and choose "add ftp publishing"

But whenever i try connect, it prompts me for my username and password and the connection times

Thanks
 
so i still have this problem

appears to be authentication, ive tried everyhthing!!

heres the error im getting. Ive tried checking the logs but they tell me nothing apart from the fact that there was a login attempt.

if i disable passive its fine. But i want to host the server with passive mode, ive tried adding a exception in the firewall but still no luck

thanks
 
so im still stuck with this damn FTP thing. Out of everything, it seems to have been the hardest.

I have checked all permissions over and over, but i get the following message. It logs me on fine as i can see myself logged on on active sessions, but wont display any folder content. Ive tried MSDOS and UNIX options

heres what i get, EVERYTIME!!

The message is still the same...

Can you try the same thing from the command line? I'm sure your problem is with passive mode... so, try with command line and post back results.
 
yes i can access it without passive mode enabled, but what do i need to do in order to allow passive mode connection? ie, open ports in firewall for passive? enable forwarding on my router...ill have a quick search on it too.

Thanks
