To follow up on the comment by <b>theruck </b>... If you've got to keep the proxy for web browsing to work you can click the Advanced button and remote it for FTP... or contact your network administrator and ask if you need to use a different port for FTP proxy. &nbsp;FYI the DOS command line FTP client can only do Active Mode data channels.

That got it many thanks. However one additional question if I may...<br />
<br />
Why doesn't it allow me to put files in the directory using the browser? If I drag a file or folder onto it it just opens that location or file, whereas I actually want it to ftp it across.

Ok sussed my other issue, it appears its not possible through a browser, so I'm using a dedicated ftp client.

I am trying to setup access to oneof my servers via ftp. It is an IIS6 (Win 2003) server and it seemingly works fine when accessed through the command prompt. However if I try to access via a browser in active or passive mode I get a DNS fail. Any suggestions?

Can access ftp site through DOS but not a browser

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
