Problems running FTP, enterprise management tools

[tim_burns]

We have two systems running wingate that should be identical. One system, we had to uninstall wingate because FTP and our OAS console applications quit working.

The systems have a little bit different working, but on both systems FTP does not work when Wingate is installed. It doesn't matter whether "Use Wingate For System Apps" is checked out not.

I have tried both adding (except for FTP because I don't know what binary to add) binaries into the ignore list, but it doesn't seem to change whether or not wingate tries to proxy them. In the following list, both emdctl.exe and javaw.exe are in the wingate ignore list, but they both show up on gatekeeper. We also have problems with emdctl not being able to come up as a service, so we cannot manage our web applications.


07-Jul 10:58:18 POC1WEB1 SYSTEM 192.168.21.32 emdctl.exe
07-Jul 10:50:49 POC1WEB1 SYSTEM 192.168.21.32 javaw.exe TCPLink: 192.168.21.32:1644 <-> retailso.tempdomainname.com.:25 5 149 584

Really, all we want wingate for is to forward mail through the proxy and to (on occasion) download windows updates. Is there a way to configure wingate to manage proxies for only email and web browsing and nothing else?

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

So it sounds like WinGate's FTP proxy is intercepting your FTP connections? You should be able to stop the FTP proxy and fix this problem. You may want to try changing the port that the FTP proxy is running on, change it to something like 2121, then change the service startup to disabled and stop the service.

It sounds like you're using the WGIC as well, you may want to set the FTP app that you're using to local, this will stop the WGIC from intercepting the connection and sending it to the WinSock Redirector Service.

Your FTP connections should now go through.[/b]
