(Msg. 1) Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2007 3:15 pm Post subject: FTP Trouble in Vista Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>general (more info?)
I am unable to upload files to my websites using ANY FTP utility (Windows
Explorer included). This started happening when I moved to Vista from XP
(clean install). I'm able to connect to websites via FTP, but unable to
upload or delete files. I get a 550 permission error, but my permissions
are correct and I've verified this by using another XP machine with the same
settings. So it is Vista specific. I've turned the firewall off in Vista,
but still have the same problem. Any other ideas?

I had some trouble too but was able to solve it with a free FTP utility--
Core FTP Lite.

Turn that firewall back on asap!

Mystery solved (finally). It turns out that because I had disabled IPv6
that FTP uploads stopped working (though I don't know why). I was able to
connect, but not upload/delete. I originally disabled IPv6 and the 2
Link-Layer Topology options because I was having trouble with my Wireless
connection and disabling IPv6 seemed to fix this, but broke FTP. Enabling
IPv6 and the 2 Link-Layer Topology option in TCP/IP properties allowed me to
upload again (thankfully).

Ok, maybe I celebrated too early . . . because changing the IPv6 settings
helped fix the FTP for one site, but not the others. Very confusing.

Sorry for too many updates, but results keep changing . . . after changing
the IPv6 settings, the one site's FTP worked ok for a few minutes . . . but
then all sites stopped working again!

There's a setting in IE's options under the
"Advanced" tab to check "Use Passive FTP".
See if that helps.
Or try this;
Copy and paste the below into an elevated CMD
prompt.
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Brandon,
Did you ever find a solution to this FTP trouble in Vista? I just purchased a new desktop with Vista Home. I was able to FTP for a few days, but now get login failures with whatever FTP client I run. It's taken days to install new softare and get the system configured, so I'm not sure what I installed that took it down.
I have followed the suggestions in this post including running "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled" in elevated. I have learned a lot about Vista, but it still doesn't work.
To solve this problem, I'd recommend you to use the CrossFTP Client ( http://www.crossftp.com/ ). It works fine in Vista even other clients failed, since it does not depend on high level win32 API that caused the problem.
