Windows FTP in IE8 with ISA 2006

[xxpokerxx]

Hi,

I am trying to go to my companies FTP site to do some tests but I cannot get to the site. I tried on IE6 and it works fine, but IE8 wont let me login ! When i type in the FTP address a login box should come up in which i login and do what i need to do. However with IE8 this is not the case, I just recieve an error message from ISA 2006 saying :

Error Code: 502 Proxy Error. The login request was denied. The logon account might have been disabled or logon information might have changed. Log on again to verify that the information was typed correctly. If the problem continues, report the problem to the administrator of the Internet server you are requesting. (12015)
IP Address: x.x.x.x
Date: x
Server: x
Source: proxy

I get this everytime ! I have tried evry possible combination of "Enable FTp folder view", "Enable integrated authentication" and "use passive ftp". I have also tried adding the username and password into the url to no avail.

Please HELP !!!!! I need to be able to do this for work, so this is delaying me quite a bit trying to figure this out.

Thank You In Advance.

Have you tried
ftp://username:thepassword@thisistheftpaddress ?

Some FTP sites I use won't pop up the login box - I have to address them directly as above.

Yes i have, I get a different error when doing that :

Error Code: 502 Proxy Error. The password was not allowed. The password might have been changed or typed incorrectly. Try typing the password again. If the problem continues, contact the administrator for the remote server and report the problem. (12014)
IP Address: x.x.x.x
Date: x
Server: x
Source: proxy

The username and password are correct by the way, I know because I can use them to FTP via the command line as well as an HTTP interface.

Well, I have figured out that I need to use windows explroer to do ftp with IE8. IE8 doesnt want to work for whatever reason but windows explorer works fine. I guess Ill just use it as it makes no difference.

Set IE to bypass your proxy for FTP connections to that URL.

Usually a proxy doesn't like you to hairpin - I am assuming the ISA server is your proxy.

My advice on FTP issues is to always use a real FTP client, not IE. Fixes most issues instantly.
