=====================================
Hello there,

I saw yuor KB articale on this topic but could not see how to actually configure the port range in IIS 5. I understand that I need to have SP4 installed (which I do) and that I need to create a value in the registry (which I did) but what then? How do I actually specify which ports are to be used in passive mode?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:
Ok. I assuming you refer to this KB - How To Configure PassivePortRange In IIS, After you have created the  "PassivePortRange" in the following regkey HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services \Msftpsvc\Parameters\

All you need to do is specify the valid range value, which is from 5001 to 65535, Example, you would specify 8000-9000. Then after you close the registry editor and restart IIS service, IIS FTP server will only use the defined port range (between 8000 to 9000) for passive mode connections, hence by doing which, you can then customize your firewall for allowing such port range traffic request.

got it?
