ftp: illegal port command 500 LPRT not understood

This error showed up on the OLD SITE shortly after I created a NEW SITE that
used front page extensions. Somehow, my old project that is html only
(FP2003) got corrupted with a new project that uses aspx and is being
published with frontpage extensions under VS2005


googled http://tinyurl.com/y57chm Iis nice to know that I am not the only
one with this problem.


Finally got it to work correctly (??) but I disabled the ftp publishing
service on the computer that I am doing the development on. Not sure how
attempting to publish to a remote site gets confused with the ftp server on
the local system????
During the publishing I was told that the remote server had a file and asked
me if I wanted to delete the file. Unaccountably, all the files supposidly
on the remote server were actually on the local development system and I was
actually attempting to put them on the remote. I told it not to delete
anything and it ended up putting those items on the remote system like I
wanted. So if the destination system is a yahoo server, how is it that it
asked me if I want to delete stuff from the remote server when I know it
isnt there?

Either something is not right, or my understanding of what is going on is
lacking. I never had any problem until I set up IIS and started the local
ftp publishing service.

So how do I maintain different projects? One project is on yahoo and lacks
fp extensions. The other project is on a local system here on the intranet
and has fp extensions.
