Hi, can anybody help me?

I am running IIS 5 on a Windows 2000 server and i'm having issues with my
FTP site (we need it to perform replication on SQL server)

Basically, i can connect to my FTP service, it will ask me for a username
and password, then just hang there and not display the folders. During
replication, it routed down through 4 levels of folders to find the database
but would not allow me to send the FTP traffic back out from my server. I
tried to contact other ftp servers from the machine and it failed too, but
when i uninstalled the FTP service, it connected to other sites fine, but
once re-installed, i could see my server from outside and connect to it, i
just cant download/access the files and file structure

I know its not a firewall rule issue so it must be an FTP thing, just not
sure what it is!

Any help on this would be appreciated

Thanks in Advance

what software you use to ftp ? post the log ...
can you use command line utility ftp.exe and test?
can you login ? do dir listing ?

post the ftp access log as well.
