FTP Connection Refused By Remote Host


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello--

 

We are in the process of migrating our IIS server from W2K3 to W2K3 64-bit

and we cannot figure out why we can no longer ftp into the new IIS server

from within the same subnet? the FTP service is started, and the FTP Sites is

started in IIS.

 

From a command prompt, if I enter in "ftp <server IP address>" we get a

messages that says connection refused by remote host.

 

If we try to use an FTP program, the connection just fails. I used the

'netstat -an' command on the IIS server and it shows port 21 is listening.

 

Any help would really be appreciated.

Probably the Windows Firewall. With XP x64, you're at the SP1 level as a

minimum, and that includes the Windows Firewall by default.

No. We don't use Windows Firewall.

Ah, but did you explicitly disable it? With Server SP1, it is enabled by

default. (And the same for XP x64, which is Server 2k3 SP1 code base.)

We figured it out. The web developer missed something in IIS.

 

Thanks though.
