IIS6 and passive mode FTP

Make sure that IIS is setup to allow the meta base to be edited whilst running and then run:

cd Inetpub\AdminScripts
adsutil.vbs set /MSFTPSVC/PassivePortRange “5500-5520”
iisreset

Then you need to open the ports in the firewall.  If using the inbuilt firewall you can add the manually like:

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>NETSH FIREWALL ADD PORTOPENING TCP 5500 PassFTP
Ok.

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>NETSH FIREWALL ADD PORTOPENING TCP 5501 PassFTP
Ok.

etc.
