Re: IIS FTP Password Problems

For one thing, keep in mind that what appears in the security
event log will depend on what has been configured to be logged
(see the local security policy in the audit section).

Since the password for ftp login travels the network in clear
text (unless within such as IPsec ESP communication) it can
be really only a matter of who is able to sniff the traffic. Then
you can change the password any you are at point where you
experience what you report.

So, are you saying that you have just now reset the password
to a known value with Windows and then altered the process
that tries to use this so it knows the new value, etc. and that
you still are getting this login failure?

Roger,

Thanks for your input. I thought the same thing as well as the other
tech.
If you see my response to Steven, I provided more information about what I
did.

Why consider reinstall when it sounds like a matter of the
password having been changed, or not changed and expiring ?

Friends,

We are using IIS ftp to backup configuration files from remote devices.
Up
until two week ago everything worked just fine. One of our evening
call
center folks complained that the remote devices failed backup.

I was able to start an ftp connection from a client at another
location,
but
the password failed. I am getting ready to uninstall and re-install
IIS,
but
thought I might check here first before major surgery.
