FTP servers tend to have some issues when used behind Firewalls and/or NAT systems. You can get around that by using "Passive" mode, whereby the server initiates the alternate port negotiation rather than the client. When using FTP, you do use ports other than 20/21 but this is generally transparent to the user. I use IIS 5 behind a PIX 520 and a Linksys consumer router, both of which work fine is using passive mode on the client.
OP
how do i make it passive mode?
Also, check ALL of your permissions on the files/directories that you want to allow access to (share permissions, ftp site permissions, NTFS permissions).
OP
you mean the C:\Inetpub\ftproot folder?
The client determines the mode, and if that's your home directory for your ftp site, then yes.
OP
ftproot has all permissions and even with passive mode i cant get into my site, can you?
OP
im sure its a problem with the ports becuase ftp://localhost and ftp://192.168.0.2(internal network address) both work. I thought that only 20-21 were used in FTP. both are TCP ports not UDP right?
I open up both TCP and UDP for FTP. This link:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
shows both TCP and UDP as being used in FTP, but other places do not.
