hi, i just installed my new server, and am trying to work through getting the ftp service to work correctly. i have it installed an working correctly on the server (i.e. i can see it through iis 6 console, and can access it through firefox on the same system), but it doesn't work remotely. when i try and connect to it from another machine, it asks me for user name & pw as it should, then i getthis error message: "425 can't open data connection" it then connects anyways, and shows the folder, but not the files inside. here is the output from the log: 2008-01-05 19:12:58 192.168.2.34 anonymous MSFTPSVC1 YODA 192.168.2.37 21 [31]USER anonymous 331 0 FTP - 2008-01-05 19:12:58 192.168.2.34 - MSFTPSVC1 YODA 192.168.2.37 21 [31]PASS mozilla@example.com 530 1326 FTP - 2008-01-05 19:13:00 192.168.2.34 myusername MSFTPSVC1 YODA 192.168.2.37 21 [31]USER myusername 331 0 FTP - 2008-01-05 19:13:00 192.168.2.34 myusername MSFTPSVC1 YODA 192.168.2.37 21 [31]PASS - 230 0 FTP - 2008-01-05 19:13:01 192.168.2.34 myusername MSFTPSVC1 YODA 192.168.2.37 21 [31]sent / 550 2 FTP - 2008-01-05 19:13:01 192.168.2.34 myusername MSFTPSVC1 YODA 192.168.2.37 21 [31]sent / 426 2 FTP - 2008-01-05 19:13:01 192.168.2.34 myusername MSFTPSVC1 YODA 192.168.2.37 21 [31]CWD / 250 0 FTP - there are a ton of kbase articles on the error 425, but none of them actually tell me how to FIX it. i also saw another article on installing a 3rd party ftp server (http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1527), which imay try next. i'm not clear why this is not a MSFT authored function and why they say not to use it (http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/cd5e8a91-2c95-4015-916c-997608da0b151033.mspx?mfr=true) any suggestions as to why this won't work?

Have you tried this with the RTM code yet? Ward
