FTP on a different port
|
|
| greg gallager 2006-12-20, 7:21 pm |
| We run the FTP service on our 2003 std server and I'm fed up with the idiots
that run the 'logon robots' trying hundreds of user names and 10's of
thousands of passwords for days on end.
I want to move off of port 21 and I'm getting nowhere. e.g. in the
properties I changed to port 8021 (stop/start service).
I then try via IE to connect to ftp://myFTPurl:8021 and just get to watch
the flashlight search endlessly. I have shut off all firewalls etc.
Secondly, can the 'DOS' ftp.exe be configured for other than port 21?
I don't think my ISP is blocking ports, and have tried a half dozen other
values all over the place.
What am I missing?
BTW we have not installed SP1 on the server.
Thanks all

| Try to test it locally first.
a) c:\>ftp.exe
b) ftp> open myftpurl 8021
do you see hte login prompt? can you login ? do dir listing?
