Go: How Windows 2003 establishes an FTP server

Install Internet Information Services and FTP services

Because FTP relies on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), IIS and FTP services must be installed on the computer. To install the IIS and FTP services, follow these steps.

Note : In Windows Server 2003, the FTP service is not installed by default when IIS is installed. If you have IIS installed on your computer, you must install the FTP service by using the Add or Remove Programs tool in Control Panel.

1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
2. Click Add/Remove Windows components.
3. In the Components list, click Application Server, click Internet Information Services (IIS) (but do not select or clear the check box), and then click Details.
4. Click to select the following check boxes (if they are not already selected):

"Public file/File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service/internet Information Service Manager"

5. Click to select the check box next to any other IIS-related services or subcomponents that you want to install, and then click OK.
6. Click Next.
7. When prompted, insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, or provide the path where the files are located, and then click OK.
8. Click Finish.

IIS and FTP services are now installed. You must configure the FTP service before you can use it.

Configuring the FTP Service

To configure the FTP service to allow only anonymous connections, follow these steps:

1. Start Internet Information Services Manager or open the IIS snap-in.
2. Expand server Name , where the server name is the name of the server.
3. Expand FTP Sites.
4. Right-click Default FTP Site, and then select Properties.
5. Click the Security Accounts tab.
6. Click to select the Allow Anonymous Connections check box (if it is not already selected), and then click to select the Allow Anonymous connections only check box.

If you click to select the Allow only anonymous connections check box, you configure the FTP service to allow only anonymous connections. Users cannot log on with a user name and password.

7. Click on the "Home Directory" tab.

8. Click to select the Read and log access check boxes (if they are not already selected), and then click to clear the Write check box if it is not already cleared.

9. Click OK.

10. Exit the Internet Information Services Manager or close the IIS snap-in.

The FTP server is now configured to accept incoming FTP requests. Copy or move the files that you want to provide to the FTP Publishing folder for access. The default folder is drive : \Inetpub\Ftproot, where the drive is the drive where IIS is installed.

Set FTP login User

First step: Create a new FTP user

On the desktop, tap My Computer---Manage---Computer Management---system Tools---Local Users and Groups directory.

Take the new user jack as an example:

Step Two: Create a new FTP user group

Under Local Users and groups, on groups, right-click New Group, and add the new jack user in the previous step to the Ftpusers group.

Step three: Remove the jack user from within the user group

The new Jack user will be placed under the Users group by default, and Jack should now be removed from this group.

Fourth step: Set the ftp file to permissions

Right-click the folder you want to set as FTP, add the Ftpuser group to the permissions list, and set the appropriate permissions. For other users or groups to which the folder belongs, set according to the actual situation.

Complete!
