    Cannot get directory listing using SSL and FTP 7

    When I configure my ftp site to use SSL, the user is able to connect using an SSL ftp client such as CoreFTP Lite, however, it cannot get a directory listing.  I have followed the steps in this link for configuring the firewall http://blogs.iis.net/jaroslad/archive/2007/09/29/windows-firewall-setup-for-microsoft-ftp-publishing-service-for-iis-7-0.aspx and also this link http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/Windows_Server_2008/Q_24081749.html, but still I cannot get the listing. 

    I actually do not need the firewall on the server, so I have turned it off, and still cannot get the file listing.

    Any thoughts other than those presented in the articles I linked above?  Win2008 server, 64bit, IIS 7.

    cannot get a directory listing

    What does this mean?  It has nothing to do with firewall settings, it would be file/folder permissions.  Have you tried the command line client and doing a dir or ls?

    Re: Cannot get directory listing using SSL and FTP 7

    Thanks for responding.  I have tried a command line just in case, but this will not work because the site is using SSL, and you need an SSL ftp client.  The reason I mentioned firewall settings, is that everything I have found about this problem, which seems very common in a Google search, is directed at firewall settings as the culprit.  The user has full permissions on the directory, so I don't see that it can be a permissions issue.

    I forgot to mention - it works fine when I am inside our Sonicwall firewall, but not from the outside.

    And another update, it doesn't look like the issue is MS specific.  I installed Filezilla ftp server, and the same thing happens.  I can connect, but not get a listing.

    We solved this problem.  Had to do the following

       - in FTP server settings, set passive FTP port range to 6000 to 6010.
       - in our Sonicwall firewall, created firewall rule for this range.
       - Create firewall rule for TLS (port 990)
