Fast setup of Broadband FTP server (next)

FTP Server

If you do not have IIS installed on your system, install IIS in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel (Internet information Services)

In Administrative Tools in Control Panel, start IIS and start the FTP service on IIS. By default, your FTP server is already set up, and you can log in immediately, but there are no files in the FTP. Right-click the default FTP Site node in IIS, select Properties, and open the appropriate property settings dialog box.

Click on the Home Directory tab and fill in the path to the shared file you want to set up at the local path of the FTP site directory. By default, the folder location here is "C: \Inetpub\Ftproot," and if you temporarily want to change the shared directory, you can modify it here at any time, and the list of files displayed when someone logs in to your FTP server is in this directory.

In the Home Directory tab, you can also set the FTP server file access rights, read, write, and record access respectively. For security purposes, write permission is generally not selected here, to ensure that anonymous users can not be free to operate on your files.

Sets the user who is logged on. If you would like to provide "anonymous" access, select the "Allow Anonymous connections" option in the "Security account" option. In addition, you can also from the Windows XP Professional user account (Control panel → admin tools → Computer Management → Local Users and groups) select the FTP server Special Account, of course, you can set the user name and password.

In the Message tab, there are "welcome", "Exit" and "Maximum number of connections" 3 input boxes, respectively, on behalf of others in the login, exit the FTP server gave the prompts to stop, you can set according to your own needs. The maximum number of connections here is the maximum number of hosts that are set to connect to the local FTP simultaneously.

In the FTP Site tab, set the FTP identity, including description, IP address and port, in the Description text box, change the "Default FTP site" to your FTP site name, others generally do not need to change, according to the default option.

Third, test the FTP server

After the FTP server is set up, we can test it locally. There are two ways to log on to an FTP server.

1, in IE's address bar input ftp://in the Peanut Shell application domain name, if your FTP server allows anonymous login, you should be able to see the IIS "Home directory" under the path of the directory and files.

2, the use of FTP client software, such as CuteFTP XP, in the FTP server address settings, fill in the peanut shell application of the domain name, if your FTP allows anonymous login, but also in the mode of login to select the "Anonymous" checkbox, and then connect. If set correctly, you will see directories and files in the FTP client that you allow others to manipulate.

Since it is the server, for others to provide a good service can be deserved, so, finally do not forget in the "home directory" under the "root" new text index (usually index.txt), so that others quickly find their own dongdong.
