Open the ISA gui.
right-click the outbound rule that allows ftp and select configure ftp.
Untick the read-only box.
Apply the policy.
Job done :)

can't i find another way to upload files in spite this restriction!?
ISA2000? OK then. Be aware that ISA2000 left mainstream support in mid 2006.

Are you the administrator of the ISA server?
If you are then follow this

If you are not, ask your administrator to make the change for you.

If you are not authorised by the administrator  to upload ftp files then it is against our policy to deliberately try and get around an organisations security rules.

It's also possible that you can't upload because port 21 is the only port allowed, but port 20 or passive FTP ports aren't allowed.

FTP is a funny protocol in that it requires two connections, not one.  If you can't reconfigure the firewall and you need to transfer a file, you may want to consider something like SCP instead.
ISA uses a dynamic filter that automatically deals with the control and the data channel together. Port 21 is the only port required but good thought.

Speedbit. Can you confirm you are the administrator of the ISA server please?

Software

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
