I'm trying to port the ftp server demo to a system service, however when I connect I get this error in the ftp client:
451: Failed: connect: WSocketResolvePort: Cannot convert port 'ftp-data'. Error #11004
Unable to complete transfer
Any idea why it gets that error when running as a system service ?

Do you have a firewall "rule" that used to allow the server (as an
application) run, but does not allow the server (as a service) run for port
20
(Sygate can have advanced rules like this)

'ftp-data' is typically port 20 (see system32\drivers\etc\services)
lines 1880, 1926, 2216, 2279, 3245 of FtpSrv.pas for example are where the
data port gets bound as 'ftp-data'
Perhaps your client or service does not have security privileges to the
system32\drivers\etc\services list and therefore cannot work out that
ftp-data is 20 ?
Try logging the service on (temporarily, for testing purposes only) as the
administrator (you can do this in the service manager)
and also make sure your client is logged on with full privileges

I'm only guessing, since I have never come across this error before

This error is from winsock when the component try to get the port number corresponding to the port
name "ftp-data". You either have your <WindowsDir>\System32\Drivers\Etc\Services file missing or
corrupted, or the account on which your service run has no permission to that system file and
winsock can't resolve protocol names to protocol port numbers. If this error also occur with normal
applications, then you ahve probably been hacked by a virus. Some of them mess the tcp/ip settings
up.

A quick hack would be to replace all occurences of 'ftp-data' by '20' in the component source code.
course it is better to fix your system configuration.

I checked the file, it seems to be ok, and there's no viruses in my system
either. Running admin account
Where else can I check for what's wrong ?

Thanks.

Sometimes the files is K but not at the right place. The virus change the
location of the file specified in the registry, so the system doesn't find
it.
But to be sure, just run the program (or ICS demo) as a normal program and
see if you have the error also.
If you have Norton Security, disable it, at least for testing. IM it's a
bad product.
Disable any firewall or security system you may have (disconnect from the
internet to be safe).

You are right. I tried to run the ftp server demo as a normal app and it
failed to resolve "ftp" port. Something happened in the last few days since
it was working earlier. I am quite sure I haven't been infected by a virus
though, I keep a good security profile on my system. I don't have norton,
don't like it either. As for an antivirus I use Kaspersky.

How could I debug this problem to find where the error lies in the system ?
Maybe some registry setting ?

Thanks

Hello Brian,

The folder where the file is in a registry key. It is mentioned once a
while in this group. Eventually try the searchable archive.

Sorry but the symptoms make me really think you have been infested at one
time by a virus. It has probably been eradicated, but his effect are still
there.

How could I debug this problem to find where the error lies in the system
?
Maybe some registry setting ?

It is probably easier to completely remove TCP/IP protocol from your system
and reinstall it.

And what about the value ? Does it point where the file is ?
