Windows 2008 FTP problems

Hey guys,

I'm struggling to set something up that has historically been fairly easy ... setting up an FTP ... but with Windows Server 2008, I am struggling.

We've set up a user account, and as you can see from the logs, all crendials are accepted ... but it won't "list"

I'm no server expert or FTP expert really - as it's always just worked (win 2003)

I'm showing the client-connection log below - let me know where i should start troubleshooting.

Thanks.

Well, I've got a rule for both 20 and 21 in my advanced firewall, yes. I've set it allow on all networks (rather than just 'public' etc)

OK, here's the weirdest bit ... if I turn off Windows Firewall on the server (a big no, no!) ... the result is the same ... connect, but no list.

That is very odd.

Computers hate me.
