Simon, I set my 2nd FTP site to port 2122. The FTP site starts up no problem
with this setting ( by this I assume that port is available??). We have a
Firewbox 700 (Watchguard) and I have created a service to allow data on port
2122 to get throiugh the firewall.
However, each time I try to access the site as you mentioned i.e.
ftp://ftp.ourdomainname.com:2122, I do get the ftp logon screen but after
entering the appropriate username and password, I get the following error...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
"An error occurred opening that folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have
permissions to access that folder"
Details:
200 Type set to A
500 Invalid port command
500 'LPRT 6,16,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,67,0,0,0,0,0,133,96,2,14,90': command not
found
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
The access rights are definately set. In fact just to make sure I gave the
'everyone' group full access. What I am wondering if the port I used '2122'
is maybe not available on my system for some reason? I say this only because
of the 'invalid port command' issues as part of the error...
Do you have any idea what might be happening here?
Thanks,
Brad
