IE and FTP

[GERRYE]

I have setup multiple ftp sites on a single server using IIS 4.0. They all use diffrent port numbers 6102-6121 and i cant connect to them in IE, thye work fine with ftp.exe or telnet but with IE 5 it doesnt work, it'll prompt me for a user name and PW so i enter the name/pw/domain and it says type set to A and invalide port command. any ideas?
Thanks
Gerry

For Ftp sites IE uses the default port number i.e. 21. If you use custom port numbers for your Ftp sites in IIS you will have to specify that port number in the IE as well. Try the following in IE address bar:

ftp://ftpsite:6102
ftp://ipaddress:6102

These should work if you've allowed anonymous and only anonymous connections to your site, otherwise it will still ask for username and password if you are using integrated authentication.

Hope this helps.
