Hi,

Is there a way to configure IIS so it refuses to accept DOS connections on
ftp ports? I've got XP machine that occasionally gets flooded with attempts
to try to login as 'Administrator'.

Thanks,
Bogdan

FTP doesn't care about the operating system. It is its own protocol and
independent of the OS. That's why FTP, HTTP, POP, SMTP, and other
protocols work despite what OS is used on either end of the connection.

The FTP commands are the same whether the FTP client is running on DOS,
Windows, Mac (old or OS/X), a variant of Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX,
MVS, Exec 1100, CPM, AmigaDOS, or whatever.
