FTP server running on Windows XP professional
I have been using a the FTP server running on Windows XP Professional with a
static IP for years with no trouble. I have recently added a router as a firewall and port forwarded port 80 for the web server no problem there and port 20 & 21 for the FTP server. I don't think I have all of the necessary ports open to allow file transfers. I keep getting permission errors. You can get a connection but transfers fail. Has anyone set this up before without opening so many ports that the firewall is useless. Is the version of IIS released with Windows XP Professional capable of assigning ports for these transfers I understand you need 2 ports per connection. Any help with this problem would be appreciated. -- Al |

This is worth reading for the issues involved. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html I don't know about the xp pro ftp server but there are other ftp servers you could use where you can specify a range of passive ftp ports to use. FileZilla springs to mind. Jim. |

FTP server running on Windows XP professional
Hi Jim
Thanks for the feedback I am now using GuildFTP and it seems to have a lot more control then the FTP server in XP. I am still having trouble getting the range of ports shortened down to where I like but it is much better. The setup will except the range I enter but when I check it has kept the starting range but expanded the ending maybe there is a limit to how short you can set it. The Router is only letting the ports I specified through so I think the desired result is achieved. -- Al "James Egan" wrote: On Thu, 12 Feb 2009 09:07:03 -0800, Alan wrote: I have been using a the FTP server running on Windows XP Professional with a static IP for years with no trouble.
