Windows 2003 Erecting user isolation FTP site

The installation of the FTP site seems to be not a difficult thing, we do not need the help of any external tools, only the use of Windows Server system with the IIS features, you can easily set up an FTP site. However, the FTP site installed in this way not only allows any user to anonymous access, but they can also the home directory of the FTP site to "read" and "write", so that the content stored in the FTP site is not security. So how can we make a successful FTP site, not allow users to access the home directory, but only access to the user's own directory? In fact, in the Windows 2003 Server IIS 6.0 system, we just need to take advantage of the newly added "Isolate User" FTP component, Makes it easy for users to access only their own directories.

To install the isolate users FTP component

Because the installation of the FTP site requires IIS6.0 support, and in the default state Windows 2003 server does not have the component installed, so in the installation of the FTP site with user isolation, we need to first install the IIS6.0 component, and the "Quarantine user" The FTP component was successfully installed, and the following is the specific steps to install the "Isolate users" FTP component:

First, in the Windows 2003 Server system, click the Start/Settings/Control Panel command, click the Add or Remove Programs icon in the Pop-up Control Panel window, and then in the Add or Remove Programs settings interface that appears later in the dialog box, add/ Remove the Windows Components button and go to an interface titled "Windows Component Wizard."

Second, in the Components list box, select the Application Server complex option and click the Details button, and then double-click the Internet Information Services (IIS) project in the Application Server Settings window that pops up, and go to Internet Information Services (IIS Property Settings box, select the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service item (shown in Figure 1) in the Child components list of the Settings box, click OK, and then follow the wizard prompts to complete the FTP component with the isolate user feature.

Create an FTP site user access account

In order to prevent ordinary users through anonymous account access to the FTP site, we set up the FTP site will certainly limit the access of anonymous accounts, only to allow specific users to access the content of the FTP site below. To this end, before the official installation of the FTP site, we need to create some user access account in the Windows 2003 Server system for the FTP site, users must create a good account in advance to login to the FTP site. When creating an FTP site User access account, we can follow these steps:

First in the server System desktop, click the start/Run command, in the pop-up System Run dialog box, enter the string command "Compmgmt.msc", click the Enter key, open the local Server System Computer Management window;

Second, in the display area on the left side of the Management window, double-click the Local Users and Groups option with the mouse. Below the expanded branch select the Users folder, and in the right display area of the folder, right-click the blank position, click New User from the pop-up right-click menu, and go to new user Create the window (shown in Figure 2);

Next, set up the user's access account and password information in the window, cancel the selected state of the "user must have this password at next logon" item, select the "Users cannot have this password" option and the "Password never Expires" option, and then click the "Create" button, In this way, a target user's account information even if created successfully. Similarly, we can create an account information for all users who need access to the FTP site.
