Step of setting up FTP server under WinXP system _ftp Server

Yes, today the purpose of this article is to bring everyone to set up an FTP server on this machine, the establishment of such a server for remote resource sharing is really a choice! The following erection steps take the Windows XP system as an example.

Today's domestic telecoms operators have adjusted their broadband tariffs to an easily acceptable level, and as people enjoy the convenience and swiftness of broadband, more and more people are starting to think about whether they should use the resources available to do more. Many people aim at the FTP server. Indeed, using FTP to share remote resources is a very good and convenient way to do it. The following small series to Windows XP For example, for you to explain the basic installation of FTP skills.

　　 Warm-up stage:

Before we start, we have to let our computers find a place on the internet---apply for a domain name. Want to let a friend in the vast network of the sea to find you this computer is implemented by IP address, and most of the current monthly broadband offers are a dynamic IP, that is, each dial-up access to the IP address is not like, you can not change the IP address to notify friends once! The common way to solve this problem is to apply for a free domain name and recommend it to http://www.oray.net/.

The first step: apply for a domain passport (ie account), open a free domain name.

Connect to http://www.oray.net/, click "Registered Passport" on the left side of the page, and follow the prompts to complete the registration. Then click on the left side of the "Domain Name Service Center", select the Drop-down menu "registered domain name record", and then in the "Free Domain name" box to enter your personalized domain name on the line.

The second step: the machine installs the dynamic Domain name resolution software.

That is, peanut shell client, download: http://www.oray.net/Products/PeanutHull_Support.asp. When the download is complete, follow the prompts to install it, and enter the account and password we just registered on the website when we go to the steps below.

All the way to continue "next", the installation of software will automatically start, so that the dynamic IP address problem has been resolved, your computer can be found in the net sea. Then you can officially configure the FTP service!

　　Erection Stage:

Generally on the Windows platform, the common way to do FTP server is to use the system's own IIS, as well as Third-party software serv-u. and the similarities and differences of these two kinds of methods, we can refer to IT168 related reports. The main thing is that the IIS settings are relatively simple, but the security is not high, and serv-u is relatively safe. The following is the erection process for IIS.

If you are building a small FTP server (with no more than 20 visitors at the same time) and do not have large traffic at the same time (such as audio and video), then this is the easiest way to do it, but note the OS version yo, IIS only applies to Windows nt/ 2000/XP System.

First step: Install the IIS components.

This component is not installed on the general system installation. So go to Control Panel, open Add/Remove Windows components in Add/Remove Programs, select "Intenet Information Services (IIS)" In the pop-up window, and click "Details" in the lower right corner to check The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service is finalized.

Step two: Set the directory path you want to share.

This directory is the list of files that others see when they visit your FTP server. In the management tool of the Control Panel, open Internet Information Services. Locate the FTP site on the left side of the window and open the Drop-down list, then right-click the property at the default FTP site, and switch to the Home Directory tab as shown in the following illustration. The address in the Local Path box is the default FTP share directory, click Browse to specify your actual shared directory, and here you can set the FTP server file access, for security reasons, generally we only open read access, in case the anonymous user arbitrarily modify the directory files, Legitimate users need to be targeted to open the "write" permission.

Step three: Perfect configuration.

in the Default FTP site window, switch to security account, remove the check before allow anonymous connections, and in the Message tab, set the prompts that appear when users visit or exit your FTP server, and write as you like! There is also a "maximum number of connections" set, It refers to the maximum number of hosts connected to the local FTP at the same time, if your computer configuration is not very good, it is recommended not more than 5.

Your FTP server should already be working after the correct three-step configuration. To be on the safe side, we can test whether the access is normal on this machine, the method is simple: in the browser's address bar input (ftp://you in the peanut shell application of the free domain name), if you can see the IIS "Home directory" under the path of the directory and file, it is successful.

Add: In a secure user setting, IIS differs from other professional FTP server software because it is managed based on a Windows user account and does not natively support the discretionary access account; To add or remove an account that is allowed to access, you must first manage tools in Control Panel , and then add or remove from the FTP Site Operators option in the IIS Security Account tab, set up in Computer Management. The

IIS settings are simple, fast to implement, and more suitable for users who play server applications for the first time; When IIS has been used for a while and has accumulated considerable experience, some third-party powerful software can be built with the knowledge of FTP firewalls.
