Troubleshooting the FTP Server Service

To determine whether the FTP Server service is installed correctly

• Use ftp on the local computer by typing the IP loopback address from the command line; for example, type ftp 127.0.0.1 and press ENTER.

  The interaction with the server locally is identical to the interaction expected for other Windows NT (and most UNIX) clients. You can also use this utility to determine whether the directories, permissions, and so on are configured properly for the FTP Server service.
