    FTP server access

    I just completed the installation of IIS and configured my website as well
    as my FTP Server.

    However, I am having issues with logging into my FTP Server through
    Dreamweaver to change my website. and I think no one has access to the ftp.

    Can anyone tell me how I can test the log in to FTP Server? and to see if it is working or not.

    I did make sure that the directory of the FTP server is the same location as
    the website.  Is this correct?

    I tested the logging into my ftp site by opening a cmd.exe prompt and I Enter the following:

    ftp IPAddress or ServerName
    Enter your Username or Annonymous
    Enter your Password

    I get this error messages "530 Please log in with USER and PASS"

    we are running Windows 2003 with IIS6
    what configuration I need to do on IIS 6 Windows 2003
    server to be able to access the server as well as to access through a ftp
    tools as well as dreamweaver MX

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank

    Re: FTP server access

    IIS FTP server? have not seen such error before from IIS. is that the correct error msgs?
    how about you physically login to the w2k3 machine or via remote desktop, open the local command prompt and connect again via ftp.exe

     typically 530 would indicate user unable to login due to bad password, no logon rights, etc. try -
    Err Msg: 530 User <Username> Cannot Log In. Login Failed.

    I've seen a 530 error where the user doesn't have access to their home directory.  This usually is a permissions issue.  Make sure the user that is trying to login has appropriate folder / share permissions to where they are logging into.  Bernard suggestion is a great idea, try from the local machine first then using a remote FTP client next.  Hope that helps.
