We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
SYMPTOMS
After you set up the Internet Information Server 1.0 FTP server and try
to connect to the server using Internet Explorer, a Windows NT user account
authentication dialog box does not appear. Instead, the following error
message appears:
The attempt to load 'ftp://<ftpservername>' failed.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if you clear the Allow Anonymous Connection check box
for the FTP server in Internet Information Server and disable the Internet
Guest account.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, enter the user account information in the
following format:
ftp://<user name>:<password>@<ftpservername>
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information Server
version 1.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 1.5 and 2.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
Then the Allow Anonymous Connection check box is cleared, Windows NT
passwords are sent to the server without encryption. Therefore, users are
required to enter valid Windows NT user names and passwords to log onto the
FTP service. This check box is checked by default for security reasons.
