Unable to access FTP site from client machine
Hi,
I have installed the FTP service on a W2K3 server. I can access the ftp site from both the command line and IE from the local machine. When I try to access the ftp site from a client, I recieve the following error:
Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.
Details:
A connection with the server could not be established.
The ftp server is on the same private subnet as the client. I am accessing the ftp site via IP address to eliminate any DNS issues. I looks like it can't connect to port 21?? Thanks for any help.

Windows Server 2003 did you say? Do you have its firewall up?

Thanks What90.. That is what it was. I used the everyone group to test and it worked. Then I removed it and put in the authenticated users to tighten it down a bit. You da man.
Dear friends
when clients want to contact to ftp server behind the proxy server,
receive error below:
Windows Cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: a connection with the server cannot be established
notes:
there is no firewall on ftp server and proxy server!
clients have invalid ip addresses
we do not have any problem with valid ip address.
what is the problem?
thanks

Hi n_f
Sounds like you may need to try the solution I recommended for nicc1023 above.
Check on the FTP server's Event logs and see if any other error messages are there, as they may shed more light on the problems.
Can I also suggest you open a new question, as you get more responses from other people. This is an answered question, so only the folks involved in answering it will see your question.
