Hey everyone,

I am having an issue the IIS7 and FTP configuration for even basic functions.

-Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1
-IIS 7.5
-Server is located outside of the domain but physically inside the network on a 192.168 address opposed to our 10.255 setup.
-I do not know the layout of how it goes through any bluecoat/router/firewalls

I was tasked with trying to get the SFTP function working since the companies Server Admin resigned. I am having trouble getting even the basic most bland format of FTP working and it still fails.

The current error is as follows:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Administrator>ftp localhost
Connected to SERVERNAME.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (SERVERNAME:(none)): USERID
530-Valid hostname is expected.
Win32 error: No such host is known.
Error details: Hostname didn't match any configured ftp site.
530 End
Login failed.
ftp>

Now when I use the host address ftp.SITENAME.org it still presents the same error. The goal is to simply get it working right now, and I will deal with securing it once I get simply get the system to work. The current configuration is broken down below: (anything noted with a * means same set at site level)

WEB SERVER
Management Service
-Set to Windows credentials or IIS Manager credentials
-Tried setting either All Unassigned and Host IP
FTP Authentication
-Basic Authentication Enabled / All others disabled
-Allow R/W for USERID*
-Allow R for All Users*
-Allow R for Anonymous*
FTP User Isolation
-FTP root Directory*
FTP SSL Settings
-Require SSL connections (using self signed server certificate)*

I have tried different settings such as using IIS Manager instead of Windows accounts, I have tried creating virtual directories, removing all SSL encryption, and going so far as to removing all restrictions of the anonymous connections (temporarily), however no matter what the furthest I can get the website is the earlier above statement.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
