port 21 conflict for ftp 2

[obulldog27]

my ftp site had been stopped for some unknown reason (server is stored at a remote site on win2k-server/SP4) I was unable to start the ftp site until I looked around and found out that my ftp services had been disabled. after starting the ftp service I tried to start the ftp site and got a address already in use error. I did a netstat -an and port 21 is already being used/listened. I changed the port on the ftp site to port 20 and it started with no problems but I cannot use ftp from cuteftp on my client computer. Cute ftp is looking for port21. I think i need to find out what is using port 21 on my remote server, and stop it so assign to ftp site. Can anyone guide me from here?

Download tcpview from

http://www.systeminternals.com

and run it to see what process is listening on port 21.

serbtastic,

I have downloaded the program and it turns out
a process caller servudaemon.exe 1464 was using this port.
I did a net search on it and turns out it is used by a program called superadblocker. I ended the process and ftp was back on port 21. will this process start if I restart the server. thanks for you help.

There is an FTP product called Serve-U which will use the default FTP port 21.

servudaemon.exe 1464 looks suspiciously like the running process for the above so i would check to see if Serve-U is installed, it can be installed as a service so could well re-start aftera re-boot.
