FTP Site Browse Problem

[Akpom96]

Hi everyone! I have come across a little dilemma. While setting up my ftp site, I was unable to connect using the url: ftp://(my ip address), and I get an error page that states: "Unable to connect."

My settings for the ftp site are attached with this thread.

This is a pretty good guide on how to set up your FTP server.

If you are still having problems accessing the FTP server using the FTP://*yourIpAddress* try using the tool telnet.
The exact command would be something along the lines of:
telnet up yourIpAddress port

try an ftp client from the same machine and connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1

if that doesn't work, try turning off the firewall. Check if the ftp site shows up as running when you click on 'sites' in IIS.
If the problem occurs only when you try to connect from another computer, it could be a wrong IP address or the firewall blocking inbound connections, in that case try switching off the firewall for a test.
