asked on

isa server 2006 ftp publishing

Hello,

I have windows 2003 r2 server and vmware workstation installed with 2 virtual machines, I have published web sites hosted on those vm's with no problem but now when I am trying to publish the ftp service on one of the vm's  ( *ubunto 11) it's not working, I understand this can be a problem and I would appreciate if someone will guide me through the process.
Thanks!

Nope - shouldn't be a problem.
On ISA, use the non-web publishing rule and point it at the VM's internal IP.

ISA must be the default gateway for the VM or along the default route for reeturn traffic going back out to any external clients.

I have tried the following:
since the VM won't let me configure the isa server as gateway( because it's not on the same scope) I moved the nic settings to "bridge" and gave it an address on the same scope and the isa server as GW.
 web publishing works, ftp don't, I have logged the requests and when I try to publish the server using the non-web publishing role I have the option to publish only FTP SERVER protocol but the logging shows FTP protocol (outgoing) is being used, how strange, I have double checked the external and internal network settings but they seem to be valid and OK.
any suggestions?

Hi Keith,

Thank you for the detailed answer, I am aware of all this, I did try all the above and only then tried bridging the vmnet nic..
I  tried both non-web server publishing and web server publishing (bridging to ftp) but for some reason
it does not work, When I look at the logging it shows that the packet is denied (last rule).
might it be something I'm missing? can I configure a more detailed logging?
what you say in fact that non-web server publishing role should do the job?
I must also mention that I am using a single nic configuration ( I read this could be the problem) even though I have 2 nic but since the server is hosted on the isp's server farm I have limited physical  access to it.

appreciate your help,

Gilad

intial configuration was wrong, had to add one more nic to make all protocols being published.
