FTP Problem

My server is XP Media Center addition with all updates applied according to Microsoft. I am trying to connect two computers on my local network using FTP which are both in the same domain behind a Linksys internet wireless router/switch with a firewall and both local machines have windows firewall running. I Installed IIS on my server MACHINE

Parameters as follows:
TCP port 21
10 connections
900 second connection timeout
Allow ANONYMOUS Connections - checked
Username IUSR_BIG-KAHUNA
Password XXXX (simple 4 character alpha password)
Allow only anonymous connection - unchecked
Allow IIS to control password - unchecked
Banner MESSAGE : BIG-KAHUNA FTP SITE
no other messages set
FTP Site Directory
Local Path c:\inetput\ftproot
Read - checked
Write - unchecked
Log visits - checked

Directory Listing Style
MS-DOS - checked

When I try to log on at the command prompt from another (or the same) computer in the same domain I get

c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ftp big-kahuna
Connected to Big-Kahuna.
220-Microsoft FTP Service
220 BIG-KAHUNA FTP SITE (Current Sessions... shows Connected user from appropriate IP address)
User (Big-Kahuna:(none)): IUSR_BIG-KAHUNA (Current Sessions... shows IUSR_BIG-KAHUNA user from appropriate IP address)
331 Password required for IUSR_BIG-KAHUNA.
Password: XXXX (Current Sessions... shows Connected user from appropriate IP address)
530 User IUSR_BIG-KAHUNA cannot log in.
Login failed.
ftp>

Seems I am getting a connection, attaching a user, but then failing on the password for some reason. Any ideas?Try turning off the firewall / ALSO try changing the password.

Alan <>< I tried the following
1. New password (seven character alpha string)
2. Turned off windows firewall
3. Opened the command window (on the same machine)

Unfortunately got the these same results.
1. Connected to FTP
2. Recognized user
3. Failed on password entry ('530 User IUSR_BIG-KAHUNA cannot log in.')
hello phil,

As per M$ KB this problem occurs when one of the following scenarios is true:

The Allow only anonymous connections security setting has been turned on in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
The username does not have the Log on locally permission in User Manager.
The username does not have the Access this computer from the network permission in User Manager.
The Domain Name was not specified together with the username (in the form of DOMAIN\username).

Did you verify and check as per this KB
