sp3 and ftp command line

[Guest Bryan Z]

I just installed XP sp3 on a computer within our domain. Now, ftp from a

command line does not work. It connects, you can login, you can change

directories, you can rename and even delete files. But, if you try ls, dir,

get, or send, those commands timeout. After those commands timeout, the

connection remains open and you can still do the previous commands listed,

but not get,send,ls,dir. Just as a test, I opened the ftp site from within

IE and it works fine in there, I can copy and paste, rename, delete files.

Windows Firewall and ICS are both disabled.

 

Last Friday, I installed sp3 on my own workstation, and I do not have any of

these same problems. So, to further test it, I installed sp3 on another

computer. This third computer has the same problems with ftp that the first

one has.

 

And, something else that might be related... With a domain admin account, I

can pull up Computer Management for my computer remotely, but not the 2 that

have the ftp problems. And, this problem is usually fixed by disabling

Windows Firewall or configuring Windows Firewall to allow those type

connections.

 

The only difference between these 3 computers is that on mine, I used our

internal WSUS server to apply the service pack. The other 2 computers, I

downloaded the sp3 distribution, WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe, from

Microsoft and installed that. I didn't want to apply sp3 domain wide, so I

figured I'd just install it on a few computers first.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Re: sp3 and ftp command line

 

I tried the free support, but they said they cannot help with computers in a

domain...

This is one of my usual support contacts... this and the knowledge base

 

Hopefully, someone here might know of something to check or try

Its a gamble but download moveitfreely. It will install a windows look

a like ftps.exe program. Its both a 'secure ftp', and a bit more

advanced version of windows' ftp.exe. If you know the command line,

try ftps and just as a gamble try entering a passive command and then

doing your ls/dir commands. If that fails, do another passive command

and then your ls/dir commands. Passive turns on/off the

passive/active mode. You can't do this in the native windows ftp.

I've found it a firewall issue and I can't figure it out but it just works.

Again, its a gamble.
