  Passive ftp after upgrade to W2k8 Reply Contact hello, a long time ago I installed a Windows Server 2003 St Ed. The only service that was running, was IIS 6.0 (for several website and 1 ftp). One week ago I upgraded the server to Windows Server 2008 St. Ed.. After the upgrade I didn't change anything about the configuration of the websites and ftp-site. So for the websites it uses IIS 7.0 and for the ftp IIS 6.0. When I tried to logon to the ftp-site I noticed that I had to use PASV, eventhough my ftp-sites uses port 21. For a "second opinion" I used another ftp-client , core-ftp, and it also switched to pasv. I don't want to use PASV at all, I want to use my ftp-site in active-mode. I find this very weird, because for PASV you would use ports between 5500 & 5700 (or others). Is there a way to change this?   Greets, Greg

  Re: Passive ftp after upgrade to W2k8 Reply Contact  My ftp-client (coreftp) is using active, but after a few seconds it automatically switches to pasv. The firewall is active. Is there a way to disable the pasv-mode? I allready checked the registry too. There's a key with the name "Use PASV" (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\FTP) and its value is "no". This is a log that says what happens if I logon to the ftp with a user-account. You can see it switches to pasv and uses port 5096. But there no portopening for port 5096 or any other. Only for port 20 & 21.   Welcome to Core FTP, release ver 2.1, build 1576 (U) -- © 2003-2008 WinSock 2.0 Mem -- 2,094,632 KB, Virt -- 2,097,024 KB Started on Monday October 27, 2008 at 08:24:AM Connect socket #572 to 195.207.163.189, port 21... 220 Microsoft FTP Service  USER eu006202  331 Password required for eu006202.  PASS **********  230 User eu006202 logged in.  SYST  215 Windows_NT  Keep alive off...
