drop all subscriptions
run the below script - change the name of pubs5 to your publication name
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','allow_pull','true'
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','allow_anonymous','true'
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','alt_snapshot_folder','c:\inetpub\ftproot'
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','compress_snapshot','true'
go
declare @.str varchar(200)
set @.str='sp_changemergepublication
''pubs5'',''ftp_address'',''ftp://'+@.@.ServerName+''''
print @.str
exec (@.str)
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','ftp_port','21'
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','ftp_subdirectory','ftp'
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','ftp_login','anonymous'
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','ftp_password','password'
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','enabled_for_internet','true'
go
sp_changemergepublication 'pubs5','snapshot_ready','true'

|||Fatiya,
my comments re VPN are OK, but Hilary's change script is
extremely neat and avoids the need for reinitialization,
so please disregard my later comments.
