FTP PASV returns internal IP address of server

I am using Windows Server 2003, with IIS 6.0 enabled for FTP.
It works fine in Active mode (non-pasv). Actually, PASV works fine when
using an internal IP address or name for the initial connection.

When connecting externally, I have the ports open on my NAT/firewall
required for PASV, only problem is IIS returns the "internal" ip address of
its network card when responding to PASV commands.

Any way to get around this?

Ask in the IIS FTP group for the best answer.

Probably not with your NAT Device. The NAT Device probably has no "filter"
to monitor the PASV Port Information and then translate it to the public
IP#. But you could check the documentation,..maybe you'll get lucky and it
does.

ISA Server can do it with PASV because it has a lot more ability than a
typical NAT Device.

The article also indicates that some FTP Servers can allow you to specify an
IP# to use for the Passive Mode data transfer "Source IP", but I don't think
the IIS based FTP can do that.
