I have the same issue of not being able to download files through ftp b/c
of ISA Server. From looking at the website it appears that a number of
other people do too. I phoned Microsoft Product Support Services as you
suggested, but the technician I spoke with was not familiar with this
particular hotfix and wanted to charge me $245 to connect me to someone at
Microsoft who could give me the hotfix #! Could you send me the
name/number of the fix please? They won't give me ISA Server SP1 beta
either without this hotfix number.
To make sure we are on the same wavelength, here is more detail on my
company's issue with ISA server: Whenever anyone tries to download a file
from a site the download now fails if ftp is involved. I can download
files fine thru FTP from a computer not behind ISA server.
For example I went today to 3com and tried to download a NIC driver. I
started at a http site but the download involved an ftp site and so the
site timed out. I found a workaround from an article on this issue at
google groups. I put in the ftp site in the url field directly and then
on the page that showed the download I right clicked the file and chose
"copy to folder." With this method the ftp download worked. But if I just
doubleclick on the file to download while at the http site and do a normal
download (that required Internet Explorer changing over to the ftp site in
the background), the download fails.
Thanks for your help! FYI, the article by Tom Schnider on Internet
Explorer and FTP is interesting but does not resolve this issue.
