IIS FTP Troubleshooting-Week 48
You can find this week’s video here.
This lesson covers ways to troubleshoot IIS FTP. When it works, it works well, but if you run into issues getting an FTP account working it can sometimes be difficult to resolve. This video will help you understand some helpful tricks and it will walk you through ways to isolate and resolve the issue.
Over the last five weeks we’ve been looking at IIS FTP. See the list below to jump to a specific FTP topic. This week we explore some troubleshooting techniques and review the following FTP connectivity stack.
- DNS Resolution/Network Connectivity
- Firewall Access (Passive/Active / Secure?)
- IIS Bindings
- Authentication
- Authorization
- Isolation Mode / File paths
- NTFS Permissions
There were two external resources which I referenced. They are:
- Flushing the IIS FTP logs to disk http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2012/02/03/flush-http-and-ftp-logs-in-iis.aspx
- One of the more advanced steps is to use Event Tracing. Here is the link I referred to.http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robert_mcmurray/archive/2008/08/29/ftp-and-etw-tracing.aspx
