Passive FTP proxy

SYMPTOMS

NetMagic will not process if "Active FTP is enabled" when connecting through MS Proxy 2.0. You receive a "Communication Finished no list of files transferred" error.

SOLUTION

Windows NT defaults to Active FTP transfers. It needs to be set to Passive FTP
transfers.

Microsoft proxy 2.0 defaults to non-passive ftp. It needs to be set to passive
mode ftp in order receive data back through the firewall.

This procedure requires the user to edit the registry and have permission to do
so on their workstation.

FIRST: Get to the run prompt and type in "REGEDIT" <ENTER>
SECOND: Double click on "HKEY_LOCALMACHINE
THIRD: Double click on "SYSTEM"
FOURTH: Double click on "CurrentControlSet"
FIFTH: Double click on "Services"
SIXTH: Double click on "W3proxy"
SEVENTH: Double click on "Parameters"

Next, you click on "NonPassiveFTPTransfer"

Then select "EDIT" and select "MODIFY" under "VALUE DATA"
and change the "1" TO A "0".

COMMENTS

This is only for Windows NT. Microsoft Proxy 2.0 is only for Windows NT.
This procedure requires the user have administrative rights on the workstation.
