range 5000-5010 will give you error when you try to restart your FTP, use 5001-5010 work fine. user following commands

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set /MSFTPSVC/PassivePortRange “5001-5010″

FOR /L %I IN (5001,1,5010) DO NETSH FIREWALL ADD PORTOPENING TCP %I FTPPort%I

2. Open same ports in Windows Firewall:
FOR /L %%I IN (5000,1,5010) DO NETSH FIREWALL ADD PORTOPENING TCP %%I FTPPort%%I

On some of Windows 2003 server that command would result in “%%I was unexpected at this time” error.

If that’s happened, then just removed the extra %. So the command would be

FOR /L %I IN (5000,1,5010) DO NETSH FIREWALL ADD PORTOPENING TCP %I FTPPort%I

From MS KB, and verified on IIS 6.0/Win2k3 SP2:

“When you manually specify a value for PassivePortRange, you must specify a value from 5001 to 65535. The value that you specify may be a range or a single number.”

The range 5000-5010 will throw an error.

Thanks for the post. I was having some trouble using passive mode on IIS ftp and your suggestions give me a real hand.
