Continued from IIS
5.1 - The Web Server Configuration
The FTP service. In
Internet Information Services, click on "FTP Sites" to see the status of
your FTP server.
Right click on "Default FTP
Site" and select "Properties".
Tab: FTP Site
-
Description - change the name
to what you like
-
IP Address - Can leave as "All
unassigned" or the specific IP address of your computer.
-
TCP Port - Port 21 is default
and should stay the same
-
Connections - Like the Web service,
10 is your maximum amount of connections
-
Log Files - You should log who
is coming to your site
-
Current Sessions - Lists the
people who are currently visiting your site.
Tab: Security Accounts
-
Allow Anonymous Connections
- This depend on what you want to do with your FTP server.
-
Username - This is the account
name that is given to the ftp user. It takes the form "IUSR_(your
computer name)". Do not delete this account in your control panel
otherwise people will not be able to use any of your Internet Services.
-
FTP Site Operators - Controls
who gets to administer your FTP site.
Tab: Messages
-
Welcome: Type in your greeting
or leave it blank.
-
Exit: Same as Welcome
-
Maximum connections: Insert
any number less than 10 since you're capped at 10. If you have 10
ftp connections, that means that nobody will be able to visit your website
since the ftp and web both share 10 connections together.
Tab: Home Directory
-
Local path: This you can change.
Actually it makes more sense to make the root FTP directory one level up
from your website since you will probably administer your website using
FTP.
