Disable Explorer-like FTP on Windows 2000 PRO |
|
|
Hi !!
As part of a broader project, I need to research how to disable the
explorer-like ftp integration on Windows 2000 PRO. What I want to do is
that when a users "saves to" an FTP// URI.. nothing happens (either from
Windows Explorer, or from Office 2000). Nor do I want the user to be
able to "browse" FTP folders...
I have looked into Group Policy settings, but I haven't seen anything
that looks like what I'm looking for. Of course, it's not the first time
I overlook the obvious!!...
I hope that somebody out there has the answer :)
Any and all help/tips would be more than appreciated

There likely are application specific config for the app uses of FTP
that you have mentioned.
However, you could also just break all FTP by use of an IPsec
filter mode policy that blocks all Tcp ports 21 and 22 in and out.

In the end, that's the way we've chosen, as we were going crazy trying
to "find" all the "hidden ftp clients" that MS has put in the Operating
System.
And it seems to be working fairly well...
