Two methods of setting up the FTP server in detail 1th/3 page _ftp server

Finally, you need to install the FTP server-side software, many of which can be used with Microsoft's IIS (Internet Information Server Internet Information Service system) or professional software. Different software provides different functions, adapting requirements and operating systems. In general, the minimum system requirements are as follows:

Cpu:pⅲ450mhz above
Memory: 256MB SDRAM above
Bandwidth: ADSL 512Kbps or above

As with the operating system, Windows 98 and Windows Me can be used if the performance and security requirements for the server are low 98/me/nt/2000/xp. In this article, if there is no special instructions, the Windows XP Professional version of the operating system, the remaining operating systems under the FTP server Setup and settings are similar.

First, with IIS erection

If you only want to build a small, simultaneous FTP server with no more than 10 users, and you won't be able to transfer traffic at the same time, you can use IIS 5.0 as your Server software (IIS only applies to the Windows NT/2000/XP operating system).

1. Installation

Windows XP does not install the IIS component when installed by default, and you need to add the installation manually. Go to Control Panel, locate Add/Remove Programs, select Add/Remove Windows Components after opening, and select the Internet Information Services (IIS) entry in the Windows Components wizard window that pops up. The "√" background color before this option is grayed out because Windows XP does not install the FTP service component by default. Click "Details" in the lower-right corner, and in the Internet Information Services (IIS) window that pops up, locate the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service, and then confirm it.


Reboot required after installation. Windows nt/2000 and Windows XP are installed the same way.

2. Set

After the computer restarts, the FTP server starts running, but there are some settings to be made. Click on the "start → all programs → administrative tools →internet information Services", go to the Internet Information Services window, find the "Default FTP Site", right-click the mouse, in the pop-up right-click menu select "Properties." In properties, we can set the name of the FTP server, IP, port, Access account, FTP directory location, user access to FTP when the message received, and so on.

1) FTP site basic information

Go to the FTP Site tab, the "description" option is the name of the FTP site, used to address your server, you can fill in, such as "My Small Station", "IP Address" for the server's IP, the system defaults to "All Unassigned", generally do not need to change, However, if you have two or more IP addresses in the Drop-down list box, it is best to designate a public network IP; The TCP port is generally still set to the default 21 port; The connection option is used to set the maximum number of users that can connect to the server at the same time; connection timeout is used to set a wait time. If the user connecting to the server is online longer than the wait time and there is no action, the server automatically disconnects the user.

2) Set up account and its authority

Many FTP sites require users to enter a username and password to log in, this username and password are called accounts. Different users can use the same account to access the site, the same site can set up multiple accounts, each account can have different permissions, such as some can upload and download, while others only allow downloading.

3) Security Settings

Enter the security Account tab with the Allow anonymous connections and only anonymous connections, and the default is allow anonymous connections, at which point the FTP server provides anonymous logons. "Allow anonymous connections only" is used to prevent users from using an account with administrative rights to access, when selected, even the Administrator (Admin) account can not log on, FTP can only through the server for "local access" to manage. The FTP site operator option is used to add or remove accounts with certain permissions on this FTP server. IIS is different from other professional FTP server software, it is based on Windows user account for account management, itself and can not arbitrarily set the FTP server to allow access to the account, to add or remove the allowed access to the account, you must first in the operating system with the "Administrative Tools" in the "Computer Management" To set up your Windows user account, and then add or remove it by using the FTP site operator option on the Security Account tab. However, for Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional, the system does not provide an "FTP site operator" account Add and remove features, only providing an administrator account.

Tip: Anonymous login generally does not require users to enter a user name and password to login successfully, if necessary, you can use "anonyMous" as the user name, to any e-mail address for the password to log in.

4) Set the user login directory

Finally set up the FTP home directory (that is, the initial location after the user login FTP), into the Home Directory tab, in the "Local path" to select the root of the FTP site, and set the directory read, write, directory Access. The difference between "UniX" and "MS-DOS" in the directory list style is that, assuming that G \ftp is set to the site root, when the user logs on to FTP, the former causes the home directory to appear as "\" and the latter as "G \ftp".
When the settings are complete, the FTP server is actually built. If the previous IP address is 218.1.1.1, then the user uses the FTP client software (upload/download software used to log on to the FTP server, such as CuteFTP, FLASHFXP, etc., if not specifically stated, the FTP client software described in this article is CuteFTP Pro 2.0 for example) , the host place fills in 218.1.1.1, the port fills 21, the address of this server is expressed as: FTP//218.1.1.1 21. Although the installation of IIS is simple, easy to set up, but not powerful, management is also troublesome, especially the new basic access to a fundamental authorization to account for the complex settings, and IIS itself is relatively poor security, vulnerable to such as "red Code", such as the virus attacks specifically against IIS vulnerabilities, So many people like to use the Third-party FTP server software to set up.
