Re: [IUG] WS_FTP and Release 2007

["Clifford, Lucy" <Lucy dot Clifford dot 1 at city dot ac dot uk>]

We had problems using FTP including WS_FTP after upgrade to 2007 which I
was able to fix by adding the relevant IP addresses to our Limit NETWORK
access> IIIFTP configuration. I guess that prior to the upgrade this
configuration was ignored but now it isn't as this had never been
configured for our IP address range.
