username/password not working for my FTP server setup on iis7, windows 2008
Hi,
I have setup an IIS FTP on windows server 2008 using link http://www.trainsignaltraining.com/windows-server-2008-ftp-iis7/2008-04-25/.
Only change done is i have selected basic authentication and specified the user test1. I have created a local user called test1.
When i access this site from outside this server pop up comes asking username/pwd. when i enter test1/welcome nothing happens. pop comes back again.
can someone tell whats the wrong step ?

Server is on cloud and no domain is setup. its an independent server.
I would recommend removing the FTP site you created, and use the following guide:
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/303/adding-ftp-to-a-web-site/
Just ignore the part after "Adding FTP Publishing by Editing the IIS 7.0 Configuration Files" unless thats something you want.
This is the guide i used when setting it up the first time.

Did it but same problem is persisting in this method also.
hi anu,
have you tried logging in locally as suggested in the last article posted by magicaltrevor and can you confirm if you are able to logon to the ftp site locally. If that is working and the issue is only with logging to FTP site externally...
Ensure that Firewall is totally turned off for public/private/domain profiles initially.
from the remote machine open command prompt and try telnet to ftp port to verify if there are any firewalls still in between..
telnet machinename:21 if you see a blank window after that then there are no firewalls.
now within the browser IE 7/8 ensure that "enable FTP folder view) under tools>>options>>advanced is checked.
If you are using Vista/Windows7/Win2008 R2 then ensure that LMcompatibility level is set to 2/3

Hi I am able to connect to FTP locallly. Please find below results.
C:\>ftp localhost
Connected to websrv-1010.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (websrv-1010:(none)): administrator
331 Password required for administrator.
Password:
230-User logged in.
Win32 error: The operation completed successfully.
Error details: File system returned an error.
When i access the site from outside or externally username\password windows comes up. After entering the same administrator and password it does nothing. it asks for username password again and again.
Since the server is an instance on cloud i have added the port numbers on security group
tcp 20 20 0.0.0.0/0
tcp 21 21 0.0.0.0/0
What might be the problem?

hi Anu,
pls confirm if you have made the changes on your client machine or on the host machine. can you post the ftp access log and also confirm if FTP service is running fine on the cloud machine.
The MS article was for making changes on client machine if that is windows 7 / Vista / 2008 and not for the FTP machine.

anu,
do you have a default FTP directory, if so verify if the permissions on that are set for this user.....also ensure that your browser is set to FTP folders view in advanced settings.

Did you try using the format ftp://user:password@ftpservername.domain.tld ?
Or if you'd rather get the prompt, have you told IE to prompt for name/password in the Intranet zone?
e.g. see attached.

Bhanu,
Root folders have permission to administrator and the users as well. My browser is already setup for FTP folders view.
No idea where is the problem.

No idea where is the problem.
what is the OS running on your desktop/laptop.... and did you try a command line ftp from your laptop/desktop or try using "winscp" and check winscp logs.

I am using Windows 7. From command line it works and shows the list of files as well. Please see below ftp result from my desktop to ftp site.

Did you set IE to prompt for a name/password when in the Intranet zone? (the option circled in red in the attachment I posted.)
ASKER
Yes. It is set. No idea why this happening.
disable anonymous logon on the FTP site and verify if that reverts the earlier behaviour or if it prompts for username password and works fine.
remember to restart the IIS services after the changes and then try connecting from both command line and browser.
ASKER
Never enabled anonymous logon on this. but still restarted the IIS and checked but no use.
Are you at LAN with the server?
