  How can I connect to ftp7 from remote machine? Reply Contact Hi, I am new to FTP7. I followed the introduction to set FTP site. I have a site running good on IIS 7, say www.abc.com. Then I set a ftp on this site, it binds on 127.0.0.1:21, ftp.abc.com. Then I set two users, that is Anonymous user and administrator. I can get access from the server machine, by doing the followed: in command prompt, I input: ftp 127.0.0.1, then input "ftp.acb.com|administrator" and its password, I got accessed. However, I can not connect the ftp from any remote machine, or on the server machine, if I input like this: ftp ftp.abc.com, it would not work. The information is as followed: "connect to www.abc.com. 220 Microsoft FTP Service User(www.abc.com:(none)): administrator 550-No such host is known. Win32 error: No such host is known. Error details: Hostname didn't match any configured ftp site." Where did I miss?

If you bind only 127.0.0.1 then your external IP address would not work? But I may have misunderstood something Jaroslav Dunajsky (MSFT, IIS)

  Re: How can I connect to ftp7 from remote machine? Reply Contact hi JaroDunajsky, my settings is the followed: IP Address: 127.0.0.1; Port: 21; Virtual Host: ftp.abc.com; SSL Certificate: Not Selected; Allow SSL; FTP Authentication: Anonymous Authentication: Enabled, Type Built-In Basic Authentication: Enabled, Type Built-In FTP Authorization Rules Allow administrator, Permissions:Read,Write Allow Anonymous Users, Permissions:Read **************************************** That is all I have done. And connect to 127.0.0.1 from server machine itself is all right.

  Re: How can I connect to ftp7 from remote machine? Reply Contact well... how? I bind external IP address to the ftp site. Then configured the Windows Firewall by using the settings of: netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="FTP (non-SSL)" action=allow protocol=TCP dir=in localport=21 and netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFtp enable It still does not work... Always tell me 550 error about there is no such host....

Did you check this?  As in do you have any way of resolving the FTP host to 127.0.0.1?  And you do realize that that IP is not availabl;e from off the physical server, correct?

  Re: How can I connect to ftp7 from remote machine? Reply Contact To Leo Tang - MSFT: I did type the hostName like "ftp.acb.com|administrator", But the result is the same... It will work on server machine, but not on any remote machines... whether I type the host name or not, it always give me "550 No such host is known." To jeff@zina.com: I do not quite follow what you were saying... can you tell me more details?? Thanks for all you advice, but I need more...

  Re: How can I connect to ftp7 from remote machine? Reply Contact Btw, the server has two IPs, so on the server side, I can not connet the ftp by using "ftp localHost". I can only connect it through "ftp 127.0.0.1". on the server machine, by typing "ftp ftp.abc.com" will not work. And all the not working situation is: They can connect to ftp service, till server asks input username, but whether I only input username or hostname + | + username, they will always give me "550-No such host is known" message...

  Re: How can I connect to ftp7 from remote machine? Reply Contact I just did a quick experiment. Just like I suggested in my original response I'm quite confident that you only bound port 127.0.0.1 for your FTP site. With such configuration I can reproduce your problem . You may wonder why FTP service listens on IP addreses that were not configured. The reason is security. It tried to prevent other application on the machine stealing the address space. By default the ftp server will listen to all available IP addresses (can be disabled but not recommended) even if you only configure one. However, only the explicitly bound IP addresses (unless wildcard is used) will be allowed through.  If you didn't have hostname configured for the site then your connection from remote server would be reset right after you connected. The hostname procesing wll delay the rejection of the connection. Unfortunately it uses confusing error message. Check the Bindings on your FTP site and add external IP address and that will resolve your problem. Jaroslav Dunajsky (MSFT, IIS)

  Re: How can I connect to ftp7 from remote machine? Reply Contact Finally! I found a solution, hope this will help people have same problem with me. If the server machine has more than one IP, then I think binding 127.0.0.1 to a ftp site is not a good idea, I do not quite familiar to the machine settings, I just feel that FTP server will not know which IP is to the 127.0.0.1. Hope someone can explain this. So, I changed the binding from 127.0.0.1 to the real IP, for example, I have 3 sites on the server machine, two IPs. If I bind 127.0.0.1 to all three sites, remote machine can not get access to any sites. If I bind real IP for those three sites, there would be no problem to get connected. eg. a website www.abc.com, its IP is 10.1.2.3, then add a FTP site on this web will binds as followed: IP 10.1.2.3 , virtual host name ftp.abc.com. Then you can get connect to ftp server by using any of the following commands: 1) ftp www.abc.com 2) ftp ftp.abc.com 3) ftp 10.1.2.3 And when the server asks for username, just remember to give it hostname + | + username like: ftp.abc.com|username. Thanks for all the advice.
