    During the installation, we received a FTP verification error.

    I installed IIS, FTP, MSDE for WDM 4.5.1, but I cannot install WDM at all.

    Hi coffeeguy415,

    two things to try.
    – open windowssystem32driversetcservices and find 21 FTP line. Cut this line and paste it to the end of the file. Save and try installing WDM now.
    – Check whether the local account “Rapport” is active, has a password of “r@p8p0r+”, password hasn’t expired and is able to log in to the FTP server with read/write rights.

    Cheers

    ConfGen, Jedi master,

    1. Can you tell me what I should include in the service file line 21?

    This is what I have on line 20, 21, and 22.

    chargen 19/tcp ttytst source #Character generator
    chargen 19/udp ttytst source #Character generator
    ftp-data 20/tcp #FTP, data

    2. How do I check Rapport is one of the user?

    I am very new to the thin client, and I really appreciate you help.

    Hi,

    look for this line:
    ftp 21/tcp #FTP. control
    and move it to the end of the file.

    2. Start-Programs-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Local Users and Groups-Users
    😉

    Cheers

    Hi,

    I am a newbie to the world of Wyse, but I have a W2K3 server running IIS, FTP, and MSDN. During the install of WDM 4.5.3, I am still getting the “FTP Verification…” message.

    I can log on using commandline FTP as well as IE browsing FTP. I log in as rapport with the proper password, and I can see my dummy wnos.ini file, and it is read only. When I walk my way through the WDM installer, it asks me:

    1 – Let WDM Configure my IIS FTP server
    2 – Use an existing FTP server account (my locally created rapport account). I choose 2, and provide it the same User and Password that I have created and successfully used, but I still get the error.

    My ” ftp 21/tcp #FTP. control ” is in its proper place.

    I have contacted Wyse support on this, and the agent said that they would ‘escalate’ the issue.

    Any help here guys? Anything I am missing? 🙁

    Hi,

    you’ve said that the FTP folder is read-only. You need read-write access.

    Have you also tried to remove the manually added Rapport user and let WDM add it during the install?

    Hi,

    This is working (sorry for the delay in my reply). Do I need to have write access to the ftp? I work in an environment where read only ftp is a must.

    yes you do need read/write access as if you are pulling configs/images or registering new packages these are written in the FTP server dir. This way you need write access, of course.
