Currently I have an ftp site named upload on a test server (the Contoso
examples from MS training) setup as follows

Home folder C:\Inetpub\ftproot\upload
Network share Server01\upload$ - connecting as Contoso\FTPAccess.
Anonymous connections are allowed.
Reads and Writes are allowed in the Home Directory settings.

Share security is Everyone has full access, NTFS security for the shared
folder is

Administrators = full access
Everyone = Modify
FTPAccess = modify
System = Full
Contoso users = Read & Execute

The error message when I try to connect to ftp://server01:8080/upload from
a PC not on the contoso domain is as folows.

Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name
correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.

Detail:
A connection with the server could not be established

I can see Server01 if I ping it on the local network from the PC that is
not on the contoso domain.

Any help greatly appreciated!
Rich.

I changed the connection to FTP://server01:21 and it worked (also after
taking off anonymous access and changing the user to ftpaccess).
