Topic: FTP port cannot access

[andres]

Hi!
I have a little problem with SME 6.0 box. I am behind chip based barricade and I installed my SME in Server only mode. I opened up 2 ports (80 and 21 in my barricade) and I forwarded those into my SME box. 80 is working well, but FTP port is not. If I open address like ftp://myhost.com via Internet Explorer, then I get error:

An error occured opening that folder on the FTP server. make sure you have permission to access that folder.

Details:
200 type set to A
500 Illegal port command
500 LPRT not understand

I have just installed SME and I haven't set permissions anywhere.
I used any kind of search engines but no help

Can anyone help me out?

In server-manager, go to remote access. There you can enable ftp access via a pulldown menu

You will also need to open the FTP data port on port 20 & the AUTH port (113) wouldn't be a bad idea either - make sure you allow TCP & UDP on all those ports.  BTW, if you must use IE as an FTP client, your commandline should be:

ftp://user@mydomain.com

that way, you'll get a password prompt & be able to login correctly.
