FTP in Windows 8.1 Preview and IE 11

OK - Have Windows 8.1 preview installed and operating properly.  Go to do some web publishing for the first time using the product I have always used (Site Spinner v.291L) by Virtual Mechanics.  Publishing to GoDaddy.com

In Windows 7 and Windows 8 never a problem with the FTP service.  Today, tried to publish.  I can "see" the remote host - I actually can log on to it - put when it goes to publish the pages I received the following error: 

Error (12301): The connection with the server was reset

This is brand new -- never had this issue until I installed the 8.1 preview.  Went back to check with Window 7 -- tested -- no issue. 

Is this something new with the FTP service in Windows 8.1?? Maybe an issue with IE 11?  Windows defender and firewall don't seem to be blocking the site -- why is the connection getting reset?  Anyone with any help would be appreciated!  Thanks

Hi Ken,


It seems to be an active vs. passive FTP issue. Please double check the configurations.


If you need further assistance, it is recommended to address the issue in our IIS forum for help.


Hope this helps.
