Now depending on how many FTP sites you want to host on this server. Right click on your 'ftp site' that you recently created. I have tried this from the same VLAN so that it shouldn't go through any firewalls and the problem is still the same.Įnable Passive FTP and make sure ports 20,21, and 1023 are open via any firewalls in the future.Īll I did to enable mine was add the port binding for 1023 and it automatically adopted the passive FTP. Sorry I forgot to include this is not a public site, it is all internal to our company network. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I know some will ask why we don't just use FileZilla or a CMD prompt since that works, we have a 3rd party tool/application that uses IE for ftp so I have to get ftp working with IE. I have deleted the FTP setup and created a new one and I have the same issue both times. I have ran TDIMON while doing it to see if any ports were being blocked but I don't get any errors, all entries come back as a success. I have tried differentĬombinations of IE settings of the 'Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer)' & 'Use Passive FTP (for firewall and dsl modem compatibility)', currently I have both checked because that seems to be what most documentation recommends. After setting it up I go to IE 8.0 (tried on multiple computers)Īnd put in the address, I get the log in window and put in the information, after that it just takes me directly to IE windows stating there was a connection problem but not error codes or anything that can be used for searching. I have recently setup FTP on a Windows 2008 R2 server with no Windows firewall setup on the server. I am new to both Server 2008 and setting up and FTP so this may be something simple.
