As noted, the FTP site on Windows Server 2003 allows downloads from Internet Explorer but refuses uploads. and have already pointed toward server-side settings and trying another client. The suggestions below build on those points with focused tests that reveal whether the problem is permissions, a networking/data-channel issue, or an Internet Explorer/client limitation.

Try a simple client test and read the server reply codes. A quick command-line session will show the exact failure:

C:\> ftp 192.0.2.10
220 Microsoft FTP Service ready
Name (192.0.2.10:user): testuser
230 User logged in.
ftp> put test.txt
200 PORT command okay.
425 Can't open data connection.

Common code meanings to watch for:

  • 425 / 421: data connection problems (firewall/NAT or active/passive mismatch).
  • 550 / 553: server denied filesystem write (permission or path issue).
  • 226: transfer completed successfully.

Server-side checks to perform next:

  • Attempt an upload from the server itself (ftp localhost). If that works, the server-side file access and site config are likely fine and the issue is network-related.
  • Inspect the FTP logs (IIS FTP logs are in %SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles\MSFTPSVC1) and Event Viewer for the exact response codes and user name used by the session.
  • If logs show 425/421, switch the client to passive mode and/or configure a limited passive port range on the server and open those ports (plus 21) on any firewall/router between client and server.
  • If logs show 550/553, confirm which account the FTP session is using (anonymous vs. authenticated) and verify that that account has the necessary file-system rights on the target folder.

Quick checklist: capture the FTP reply code, test from the server, review IIS FTP logs, toggle passive/active on the client, and verify the account used for the upload. These steps narrow the root cause and point to the specific fix needed.

Make sure you have enabled write access in te FTP configuration and have configured the proper NTFS permissions at the folder itself.

Try reconfiguring it or doesn't work try using wsftp.exe
