Windows 2000 Server and IIS/FTP woes
This is a discussion about Windows 2000 Server and IIS/FTP woes in the Windows Networking category; I'm running Win2k Server on a cable modem and want to run an FTP server. It all runs fine. EXCEPT, users have to disable passive mode in order to send/receive data, otherwise a Data Socket Error occurs.
I'm running Win2k Server on a cable modem and want to run an FTP server. It all runs fine. EXCEPT, users have to disable passive mode in order to send/receive data, otherwise a "Data Socket Error" occurs.
I'm running the default settings except I require authentication.
Is there a setting or anything that I need to set differently?
I am using a Linksys Router with the correct ports forwarded.
Let me know if you need any more info to help me.
Thanks

Are you using just basic Win2k authentication?
I have one setup on my cable modem also. Only difference is, I use Sygate to share my connection. Mine runs fine.

They have to "disable" or "enable" passive mode? Generally, you don't want to "enable" passive (PASV) mode on the client because it is a bit slower to authenticate and establish the connection, but it is needed when the client cannot actively negotiate additional ports to transfer data. FTP uses more than just ports 20/21 to function, and that is where the problem lies; the user and/or server may be behind a firewall that is restricting access.
