XP Pro SP3, AIS 5.0.545
I'm using Filezilla FTP, when I try to log on to my domain (remote host / Windows server) I can log in, but I get the message from Filezilla:
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing (see attached screenshot)
- which means I can't see any of the files and folders on the domain, only the root folder is accessible.
If I shut down the firewall, everything works allright. Have also tried WS_FTP and FTP in Directory Opus, same problem with these.
I don't know if this is normal and if I have to configure something to make it work? Or if it's a bug? I have some domains on a Linux server also, but there's no problem with these in this respect. So whether it's a general problem with Windows servers or just this particular server I don't know. In any case I'd like to know how to fix it so I don't have to shut down the Firewall each time I FTP to this domain.
There is however another bug in the Firewall as far as I can see: if you click the Stop button, it says "Service Stopped", but actually it isn't stopped - at least I still get the above error in Filezilla. I have to click the Stop button twice before the error goes away. And if I click Start hereafter, Filezilla continues to work normally until I shut Filezilla down and restart it - I'd expect that the Firewall would block the program immediately whether it's already open or not.
Also, if you click the Start button after the Firewall has been stopped, the "Service Stopped" message remains, despite the Firewall is started. You have to click the Start button one more time before it says "Running".
