    FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

    Does FTP 7.5 support plain FTP or does it only support SFTP?    We seem not to be able to get a connection.

     We are trying this in a NLB configuration with two servers.

    Thanks!

    This supports both FTP and SFTP. The reason you are getting this error could be the firewall settings IP address needs be configured with your NLB IP address.

    Re: FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

    FTP 7.5 does not support SFTP (SSH FTP). It only supports FTP and FTPS (FTP over SSL).

    You can review firewall settings and your site settings. For example, if you configured FTP host header, you must use <host header>|<user name> to log in.

    Re: FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

    Are we able to set up the FTP for both methods to work or is it one way.   From the cmd line it works but from the web browser or a tool it does not work.    Does anyone have any documentation of the change of behavior meaning 2003 does not work like 2008 ?

    Re: FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

    Tried all day long we are still getting some strange results.   From an XP machine - cmd line work just fine to the FTP site.   From an Windows 2008/Vista cmd line - we get connection refused.

    All we want is a simple FTP site restricted by a group membership ,  in windows 2003 this took seconds.    Now with Windows 2008 we are getting these strange results.

    Re: FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

    I suggest you first have normal FTP working, and then try to configure FTPS. Besides, if there is any error, please paste the complete error messages here. Note that both FTP command and IE does not support FTPS. So don't expect they can be used to test FTP 7.5 FTPS. There are third party clients you can use, such as FileZilla.

    Re: FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

    That is our goal to get FTP to work.

    From an Windows XP - Cmd line - We can FTP no problem -transfer data to and from From an Windows 2008/Vista - We get "ftp: connect :Connection refused"  - nothing in the in the FTP logging

    All we want to accomplish is:

        Is a FTP site that is restricted by group membership(domain security group) - using port 21 ?    But for some reason this is not that simple in FTP 7.5        Does anyone have those instructions or URL I could look at?

    Re: FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

    Can you provide a screen shot of the command prompt containing all the lines including the error message? I think this must not be the first line.

    FTP command uses active mode to transfer data, so it is possible to fail under some scenarios. What if you use Internet Explorer to access the FTP server?

    Or at least access the FTP server on its own using FTP command? If this works, it indicates the road blocker is firewall or other networking factors and a networking expert is needed.

    Re: FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

     ftp: connect :Connection refused  - this is what we are getting from Windows 2008/Vista

    Internet Explorer - says page cannot be display all clients

    NO firewalls in place - I scanned the port 21 and it open 

    Can you give me steps ?    This should not be this difficult to do in Windows 2008.

    I suggest you open a support case via http://support.microsoft.com

    Though you provided some information, it is not enough to diagnose.

    Re: FTP 7.5 - Windows 2008

    Can you post the command line ftp.exe output for XP, Vista/W2k8?
    If it works on XP, it should works on Vista/W2k8.

    C:\>ftp yourserver
    Connected to xxx.xx.xx
    220 Microsoft FTP Service
    User...........


    Login and do a simple dir listing. post the full output from XP and Vista.

    Next, if you got nothing in ftp log, it could be the you are connecting to it at all or connecting to somewhere else.
