help with 2003 ftp

Guys,

I setup an FTP server inside of IIS. It works great on the network. I can
test by looking to the local server and try my accounts and everything is
great. I try it offsite and I get a error that says you may not have
permission to access these files. I have tried everything. I have rebuilt
the FTP several times. I have tried different FTP clients. I did find one
article that says something about log on locally but one of the accounts
that I am testing with is the domain admin and also in the administrators
group. I can see in the logs that an account login was attempted but
denied. I have set the router up to open the DMZ and proved that it is not
a firewall issue.

Next thing I did is VPN in and then go in remotely across the VPN and it
works great. Has anyone got any idea what is going on. Is it a log on
locally problem? If so how do I get past this. Thanks,

Brad Wilson

Did you disable anonymous authentication in FTP? You may have it configured
to accept anonymous logon only and the permissions on the folders do not
allow anonymous logon. That may help. Keep in mind that passwords used for
FTP are sent in clear text. The KB link below may help. The Event ID for
logon failure may show username and reason for logon failure which may be
helpful. There is also an IIS security newsgroup where you may want to
post. --- Steve
