FTP windows explorer drag and drop not working
For some reason all of a sudden we cannot, using Windows Explorer, drag and drop files on the server side of the ftp site. Better explanation: I've used Windows Explorer on both Windows 7 and Windows XP to transfer files via ftp. The ftp server is Windows Server 2000 i think it is iis5 but could be earlier edition. In the past i have been able to ftp into my server, create a folder, add some files and drag the files and folders around to my hearts content using the anonymous user account. Drop them here, paste them there or delete them, basically full permissions... (yeah, i know security concern) not really relevant to the question though. Any way, all of a sudden, I can no longer move files around server side through the client Windows Explorer session. I can drag them to and from the server i can delete them, create folders, and pretty much anything else that i want to do. HOWEVER, i Cannot drag and drop files around on the server using Windows Explorer. I CAN however drag and drop files around on the server using FileZilla FTP Client edition. This is the same behavior in Windows XP and in Windows 7. Any ideas? Thanks, james

Hi, Based on the current information, it seems that some settings of your FTP Server were changed. However, as the issue is related FTP Server, it is recommended to address the issue in IIS Forums. Thanks for your understanding and hope the issue will be resolved soon! Regards. Jeremy Wu TechNet Community Support
