Another one of
Microsoft’s descriptive errors is 0x8ffe2740 when trying to start an FTP or Web
Server from the IIS Administration module. The error itself means that
there is a port conflict with another service. This is a relatively easy
diagnosis, as you should already know what ports your ftp or web servers use.
Use the netstat
command in the command console to find out what program is using a particular
TCP port. Replace the ## with the port you wish to test. This works on Windows
Server 2003 and 2008.
netstat -anop TCP|find “:##”
The above
command will return a PID (process ID). You will need to match that to a
running program or service. Type the following command:
tasklist /SVC /FI “PID eq ####”
Here is an example
using port 21. In this example you can see the “ftpsvc” service is using
port 21 through svchost.exe – which is normal. In a client’s machine, it
was MSUpdate2.exe that was using port 21 – a piece of malware using
an FTP server to serve pirated movies!

thanks was helpful today.filezila ftp server process was running listening on the same port 21 and was conflicting with ftp server.
I don't normally post on blogs, but I just had to thank you for taking the time to blog your troubleshoot process. It helped me immensely today.
