Server : 2003, ISA 2000 including all service packs Clients : Windows XP, no firewall enabled. I am trying but failing in giving users rights for the FTP Protocol, to access FTP Servers. What is the situation : Client Machines with internet explorer proxy settings enabled, all at port 8080. Clients have a default gateway pointing to the ISA server (ISA 2000) On the ISA server, i made a new protocol definition : "ftp outbound" port 21, outbound. No secondary connections. A new protocol rule is made, groups are allowed to used this FTP OUTBOUND protocol definition. Outgoing web requests : "Same listener for all internal IP Addresses", tcp port 8080 and integrated authentication is used. "Ask unauthenticated users for authentication" is turned off, this is because we have a small application running that can't be used with the firewall client, so it needs just a securenat configuration. The FTP Access filter is enabled. The problem : User's can access ftp sites, i've set the "passive ftp" option in Internet Explorer but it just won't work. I tried to set the proxy port in Internet Explorer to 21 in stead of 8080. No result. Then i tried to install the firewall client, now client CAN use FTP connections. But i want only the Internet Explorer proxy settings to be used. Has anyone a clue why my FTP setup won't work ? Thanks in advance, Sebastian van Dijk
