Je suis trying to setup an FTP server on Windows 2008 Server. I can connect locally:
```
C:\>ftp localhost
Connected to WebHead1
220 Microsoft FTP Service
```
Cependant, quand I essayez de connect depuis remote, it ne work:
```
~>ftp x.x.x.x
ftp: Can't connect to `x.x.x.x': Operation timed out
ftp: Can't connect to `x.x.x.x'
```
J'ai tried everything I can think of avec le settings. The FTP server is bound to tous unassigned IPs et listening on port 21. J'ai aussi checked "FTP Server" in le firewall settings. Nothing appears in le FTP log files. Je suis totally out of ideas!
Le serveur FTP IIS fonctionne localement mais la connexion distante échoue

Figured it out. The issue is documented [here](https://web.archive.org/web/20121026023711/http://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsServerFeedback/feedback/details/524831/default-ftp-firewall-port-21-rule-is-broken-in-windows-2008-r2).
Fondamentalement, you have to run:
```
sc sidtype ftpsvc unrestricted
```
And alors redémarrez le FTP service:
```
net stop ftpsvc & net start ftpsvc
```
From what I can tell, c'est a bug in R2. Go figure.
