Hi there,

I wasn't sure where I should post this topic, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking this.

Here's my problem:

I'm trying to get a FTP server up using the built in FTP server in Windows XP.
There's a part during setup that asks me what port I want the FTP server on, and it works fine if I leave it at the default FTP port (21). However, if I try to change the port to sth else, it breaks and doesn't work. I get an error message saying:

FTP Folder Error
An error occured opening that folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access the folder.

Details:
200 Type set to A.
227 Entering Passive Mode (xxx,xxx,x,xxx,9,59).
426 Connection closed; transfer aborted.

(the xxx's being a local IP address)

And yes, I am behind a router and have forwarded all the neccessary ports.

Also, when attempting to access the FTP Site from IE I type in ftp://xx.xx.xxx.xxx:<port>.

Thanks in advance for any help.

the FTP is tricky buisness... I use a program to host my own personal ftp server for school files and stuff, and at one point the built-in ftp at school stopped working on my server, ever so strangely.

Point being, I use CORE FTP LITE and it does the trick very nicely. It's a nice little freeware you can pickup by google-ing it.
