My FTP server keeps "hanging up" untill i reboot the server...
Hello experts,
I have an interesting issue that i cannot figure out. My FTP server that is set up in my DMZ here is designed to (obviously) transfer files from clients out in the world to our FTP server. But every once in awhile (every few days) the server becomes unresponsive and nothing fixes this issue EXCEPT rebooting the machine. Once I reboot everything is back to normal and working fine.
Spec:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Standard Edition
SP2
Intel CPU 3.00GHz
3.00GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM
Troubleshooting:
I have tried just restarting the ftp services in the 'services' area of administration tools.
Nothing that stands out in the event viewer either. On the days that i have to reboot the server there is nothing in the event viewer as far as an error or warning.
Hypothesis:
Just some guesses if had as to what the issue is but none of these have been tested yet, NIC, the FTP software im using for the transfer (Core FTP), SID, an AD issue
Let me know if you need any additional information.

I cannot check the switches because they are cisco products and we have a contract with an outside vendor to touch those... How can i go about checking my FTP installation?

I dont understand what you mean? There is no software for FTP on the server side. Just client software to pull the info down in a GUI. Are you suggesting i disable FTP as a role on the server ?

Totally removed IIS and FTP services from the server and re-installed everything.
And we had to reboot the server last night during transfers. Could this be a DNS issue?

Ended up being 2 defined Gateways for that server since it was set up in DMZ.
