FTP Server Access Denied
Ok now that I have my shoe running in iis I am trying to setup FTP access but I cannot connect. Here is what I have done so fast:
1. Chose new site in IIS and selected "Add FTP Publishing"
2. Chose IP address assigned to site in IIS
3. Authentication: basic
4. Authorization: Allow access to: Specified roles or user groups (I created an FTP user group and added that group) and provided read and write access
I have tried to access the FTP server boot thru local command prompt and via FTP client but am getting errors on both. Local command prompt gives 530 error and FTP client times out during authentication.
This is the first IIS configuration I have done in many years so I feel sure I am overlooking something simple but I cannot figure out what it may be.

nattygreg - I don't understand what you are suggesting. What am I checking in ad? I have set all the user accounts and added then to the FTP group which I added authorization for in the FTP settings.
John - I had the FTP client set to default but I switched that to passive. Now that I have switched to passive I am getting the same error message as I was getting thru the local machine command prompt, "530 Valid hostname is expected".

Do you have a permission problem at the site? That is, are the FTP users authorized to use the folders and write to them?

I have permissions set on the directory to allow full read and write access to the FTP group. I just rechecked to be sure, and the permissions are there.
This is the same directory I have set for the web site I set up in IIS. I chose to "Add FTP Publishing" to that site rather than set up a new site just for FTP access. I don't remember this being an option from years ago when I was configuring web servers, but this seemed like the most straightforward approach. Could that be part of my problem or did I do that step correct?

I cannot answer the latter point as I do not know. Can you try a new, test FTP site to see if that is the reason.

Local permissions where I had the FTP client installed was the culprit. I have cleared that up and can now push and pull files as expected. Thanks for the help on both of the masters.
Thanks for the update and I was happy to help.

The primary solution was to pass <hostname>|<username>, but it was John's suggestion to set my FTP client to passive that lead me to this conclusion.
