TITLE   :PRB: FTP Server May Not Allow Any Connections
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client may not be able to connect to a
Windows NT FTP Server even though the user account is valid and the
Allow Only Anonymous Connections option is not selected.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
If Allow Anonymous Connections and Allow Only Anonymous Connections
are both selected and then Allow Anonymous Connections is disabled,
then the Allow Only Anonymous Connections option will be unavailable
(gray).
 
However, the Allow Only Anonymous Connections option will still be in
effect because it is not updated properly in the Registry, and
therefore no FTP clients will be allowed to connect to the FTP Server.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To resolve the problem, use the following steps:
 
1. Open Control Panel and in the FTP Server setup, select Allow
   Anonymous Connections and clear Allow Only Anonymous Connections.
 
2. Close Network Setup and restart the computer.
 
3. Disable the Allow Anonymous Connections option if desired.
 
This should correctly update the Registry and allow connections to the
FTP Server.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1
and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
