FTP in DOS

hello, i have a little problem:
I have set up an ftp server on port 111, which I can acces with WS_FTP, or through my "internet explorer"

when I try to open it with ftp on DOS, it doesn't seems to work....

F:\Documents and Settings\a>ftp
ftp> open 172.16.74.167
Connected to 172.16.74.167.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (172.16.75.168:(none)): a
331 Password required for a.
Password:
530 User a cannot log in.
Login failed.
ftp>

I always print the right pass, but still....

does anyone knows the problem ??
thanks.

is it set up for anonymous connections only? ws and ie will automatically log in anonymously.

if you think no the in IE or windows explorer try:

ftp://a:<password>@172.16.74.167

and in dos try using anonymous for the user name and a complete email addy for the password.

If the ftp server is really set on port 111 (i wonder why) then try
ftp://a:<password>@172.16.74.167:111

Peace always,

It could also be an issue with active/passive FTP. I think the DOS version is only capable of doing active sessions, where IE is capable of doing both...Could be a firewall in the mix somewhere mucking with the data ports...

I think I found it...
I didn't knew I had to type the port number after the IP

F:\>ftp
ftp> open 172.16.74.167 111
Connected to 172.16.74.167.
220 Serv-U FTP Server v4.2 for WinSock ready...
User (172.16.75.168:(none)): a
331 User name okay, need password.
Password:
230 User logged in, proceed.

thanks all for your help !!

I think, if that's the case, he would login successfully, the ftp client would accept commands but he'd get no answer. The firewall would pass the command traffic (outgoing - default on port 21) and block the data traffic (incoming - default on port 20).

Peace always,
