Server Fault is a question and answer site for professional system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I have looked all over and I am sorry if this is a double post somewhere.

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine that sits behind a Cisco ASA. It has the latest patches and all Windows firewalls are OFF.

I went through the FTP site setup wizard and assigned the IP address to servers static IP (ex. 10.4.2.1) and gave it a host name of ftp.example.com. I set the appropriate folder location as well.

I have it set for Anonymous access and have a user/password setup for the Anonymous access account.

I restart the server from IIS Manager and then ping ftp.example.com and I get the server local IP, as I should since I am internal

When I open IE on the server and go to ftp.example.com it says it cannot connect. I have done this on other servers in the past, and it has always connected and should connect on the local network.

I need it to prompt for user credentials, for example if I go to our other site, ftp.example.fr in France, I am prompted with a login window.

I cannot for the life of me figure why it will not connect, on a local network, to the ftp site I created.

I hope I explained this well enough. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

*is it accessable from the inside? *does nslookup resolve your static nat address for the outside world? *10.0.0.1 is uaually used as a gateway ip address unless you assinged your gateway to something else. *does your ASA permit http and ftp?

if you set the server up correctly, then the issue is either ip, dns, or access-list
