How to FTP via VPN to sites with real adresses on different IP's ?

Hi,
I am using Windows 2003 Server. The VPN works fine, but I want to FTP
through the VPN so the connection is encrypted. The problem is each of my
IIS sites has a real Internet address specified, w.x.y.z. So when the VPN
comes up using a private IP, I can't connect to any of the FTP sites using
the VPN server's IP, 10.10.10.2. Could you give me specific directions how
to deal with this?
Thank you for your help.
Hey Jason, I think you have the wrong newsgroup. No worries though. I had a
similar problem. What I did to "fix" it was use the route command to a route
to the Public FTP IP addrs. The command looks like this:
route ADD w.x.y.z MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
All you would need to change is w.x.y.z to the network of the public FTP.
Then the correct subnet mask instead of the 255.255.255.0 I guess. And
finally whatever gateway you have during your VPN session, I guess .1.
To get help try "route /?". To see that everyone looks good try "route
print"
I put my fix in a bat file, I would only run the bat upon connecting to the
VPN. I had another bat file that would undo it, "route DELETE w.x.y.z".
If this is not your problem, if you really just can't to the net when
VPNing, try going through a Proxy server.
Cheers,
Rod
