FTP Access

[A+P]

Hi,

Our office purchased HP xw4200 & xw6200 & xw6400 machines running XP SP2.
We have no problems accessing FTP sites from the URL on the 4200 & 6400.
But on the 6200s, IE6 and IE7 will not connect to the ftp sites using the
following address protocol:
ftp://usernameassword@hostname
We've tried running & installing Window Updates.
We've tried matching all the IE settings on the xw6200 machines with the
others like:
1. turning off "Show friendly HTTP error messages",
2."Enable folder view for FTP sites"
3. "Use Passive FTP"

But it still doesn't work. Any thoughts?

Read this and report back if you need help with the Registry
alterations.

"usernameassword@" information.

A security update is available that modifies the default behavior of
Internet Explorer for handling user information in HTTP and in HTTPS
URLs
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=kb;en-us;834489


http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-004.asp
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-004
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (832894)

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the link. I tried the registry edits to disable the modified IE
behavior.
But IE still will not allow me to access the ftp site with the following URL
address format: ftp://usernameassword@hostname
Now, would I require a reboot for the registry to take into affect?
How to disable the new default behavior for handling user information in
HTTP or HTTPS URLs
To disable the new default behavior in Windows Explorer and Internet
Explorer, create iexplore.exe and explorer.exe DWORD values in one of the
following registry keys and set their value data to 0. . For all users of
the program, set the value in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE
. For the current user of the program only, set the value in the
following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE

Hi Alan,

BTW: In re-reading the link, the security update should not affect ftp URLs
with username & password info which is the problem I'm having.
So this doesn't seem to apply to the error I'm experiencing in my case.

"Note
This change in the default behavior does not affect other protocols.
For example, you can still include user information in an FTP URL after you
install the 832894 security update."

My apologies. It is a long time since I read that article and had
forgotten it didn't apply to FTP.

Hi Paul,
1 = Try this, type this line for the FTP in the URL box:
ftp://accountname : (e-mail address removed)/

Do you have the Port ( 20, 21 ) assigned in exception on the *Firewall*
(Either Third party Firewall or Windows Firewall) to allow traffic from and
to them.

2= Go to the IE Properties and uncheck this:
[ ] use passive FTP (for firewall and DSL Modem capability)

Hi Nass,

1. Unfortunately the space in the URL ftp://accountname :
(e-mail address removed)/ will cause the browser to drop the password.
So this still didn't work.
I don't have any firewalls turned off. I've even turned off the Windows
Firewall in Control Panel.
2. I've also tried uncheck'g "use passive FTP"

Same problem still occurs.

Any other thoughts?

Hi A+p,
1 = Open the Controol Panel >> Click on Add/Remove programs >> Click on Add
Windows Components and the wizard will open the Windows Components window.
There scroll and highlight this Option:
[ ] Internet Information Services (IIS) check this box

Then click on Details button down the bottom of the window.
On the new window under this option check the option for FTP:
Subcomponent of the Internet Information Services:
[ ] File Transfer Protocol (ftp) Service check this box click Ok
to confirm, you may be asked to insert your XP CD to install.

Reboot your machine and see if you could access FTP protocol service.

2 = If still no joy open the Registry Editor and locate these KEYS:
[+] HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FTP =
[ab] Use PASV REG_SZ yes
[ab] Use Web Based FTP REG_SZ yes

[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\ftp =

Hi Nass,

Excellent!!!! The following settings were missing and after entering them,
it worked on stations we were having problems with IE6:
[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\ftp =
[ab] (Default) REG_SZ URL:File Transfer Protocol
[ab] EditFlags REG_DWORD 0x000000002 ( )
[ab] ShellFolder REG_SZ
{63da--------------------------------00000}
[ab] SourceFilter REG_SZ {
770}
[ab] URLProtocol REG_SZ

But the above settings didn't work with one station where we're using IE7.
Any suggestions?

Hi A+P,
I'm a novice when it comes to IE7, it is a shame on me to ignore it.
The above was for IE6, but you give me the motive to have a look at IE7.
I hope someone else now IE7 Best can give you the solution.
Sorry for that.

Hi Nass,

Thanks for all your help and suggestions. But last night I had it. So I
uninstalled IE7 and it automatically went back to IE6.
With the registry key settings you mentioned still intact, IE6 works
perfectly. Windows Explorer works too.

FYI, I did not install a beta version of IE7. I had a full working version
of IE7 installed.
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Nass,

Excellent!!!! The following settings were missing and after entering
them,
it worked on stations we were having problems with IE6:
[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\ftp =
[ab] (Default) REG_SZ URL:File Transfer
Protocol
[ab] EditFlags REG_DWORD 0x000000002 ( )
[ab] ShellFolder REG_SZ
{63da--------------------------------00000}
[ab] SourceFilter REG_SZ {
770}
[ab] URLProtocol REG_SZ

But the above settings didn't work with one station where we're using
IE7.
Any suggestions?

Hi Nass,

1. Unfortunately the space in the URL ftp://accountname :
(e-mail address removed)/ will cause the browser to drop the
password.
So this still didn't work.
I don't have any firewalls turned off. I've even turned off the
Windows
Firewall in Control Panel.
2. I've also tried uncheck'g "use passive FTP"

Same problem still occurs.

Any other thoughts?

Hi,

Our office purchased HP xw4200 & xw6200 & xw6400 machines running
XP
SP2.
We have no problems accessing FTP sites from the URL on the 4200 &
6400.
But on the 6200s, IE6 and IE7 will not connect to the ftp sites
using
the
following address protocol:
ftp://usernameassword@hostname
We've tried running & installing Window Updates.
We've tried matching all the IE settings on the xw6200 machines
with
the
others like:
1. turning off "Show friendly HTTP error messages",
2."Enable folder view for FTP sites"
3. "Use Passive FTP"

But it still doesn't work. Any thoughts?



Hi Paul,
1 = Try this, type this line for the FTP in the URL box:
ftp://accountname : (e-mail address removed)/

Do you have the Port ( 20, 21 ) assigned in exception on the
*Firewall*
(Either Third party Firewall or Windows Firewall) to allow traffic
from
and
to them.

2= Go to the IE Properties and uncheck this:
[ ] use passive FTP (for firewall and DSL Modem capability)

Read this article about FTP Switches and commands:

HTH.
Please let us know.

Hi A+p,
1 = Open the Controol Panel >> Click on Add/Remove programs >> Click on
Add
Windows Components and the wizard will open the Windows Components
window.
There scroll and highlight this Option:
[ ] Internet Information Services (IIS) check this box

Then click on Details button down the bottom of the window.
On the new window under this option check the option for FTP:
Subcomponent of the Internet Information Services:
[ ] File Transfer Protocol (ftp) Service check this box click
Ok
to confirm, you may be asked to insert your XP CD to install.

Reboot your machine and see if you could access FTP protocol service.

2 = If still no joy open the Registry Editor and locate these KEYS:
[+] HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FTP =
[ab] Use PASV REG_SZ yes
[ab] Use Web Based FTP REG_SZ yes

[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\ftp =
[ab] (Default) REG_SZ URL:File Transfer
Protocol
[ab] EditFlags REG_DWORD 0x000000002 ( )
[ab] ShellFolder REG_SZ
{63da--------------------------------00000}
[ab] SourceFilter REG_SZ {
770}
[ab] URLProtocol REG_SZ
[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Telnet
The same as above what you can see of entries there!.
[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\HTTP= >
[+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\HTTPS= >

[+] HKEY_USERS\ 1-S-13344---- \Softwares\microsoft\ftp =

It is best if you match the settings between the working one and this
one
and see what you can spot diffrenet or you can Add up to the unworking
one
to
configure it correctly.

HTH.
Please let us know your findings.

Hi A+P,
Try to open the FTP in * windows Explorer* and type the command for it
like
this:
ftp://username[email protected] or
ftp://username[email protected]/

Did you have IE7 Beta installed before installing the Final release of
IE7,
if so did you uninstall the Beta and installed the final release or you
installed the final release on the Beta version?.

Open the Windows Explorer and go to to Tools >> Folder Options and click
on
File Type then scroll down to this:
[ftp] (NONE) URL: File Transfer Protocol
Click on Advanced and on Edit button see the Settings there and match it
froma working IE7 machine;
Here is the IE6 settings:
