One of the most common, and simplest way to upload information to your server is through FTP (File Transfer Protocol). This allows a user to connect to a specific location on the server without having full access to the server. FTP users can be created with read and\/or write access. FTP users can be configured on the server through IIS.<\/p>\n

To configure an FTP site in IIS, please follow these steps:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Log into your server through Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Connection.<\/li>\n
  2. Create a username you would like to have FTP access to the server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Click Start<\/strong>, Programs<\/strong>, Administrative Tools<\/strong>, Internet Services Manager<\/strong>. \"\"<\/li>\n
    2. Open the New FTP Site Wizard:\n
        \n
      1. In IIS 5.0, right click the machine name and select New<\/strong>, FTP site<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. In IIS 6.0, expand local machine and right click on FTP Sites<\/strong> and select New<\/strong>, FTP site<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"\"<\/li>\n

      3. Click Next<\/strong> to begin.<\/li>\n
      4. Enter a description for the site. Typically this will be the domain name for the site. \"\"<\/li>\n
      5. Select the IP address for the site, or if the customer is using name based hosting select [All Unassigned]<\/strong> The TCP Port remains 21. \"\"<\/li>\n
      6. Click Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      7. If you are using IIS 6.0 you will need to set FTP User Isolation<\/strong>. We strongly recommend you select Do not isolate Users<\/strong>. \"\"<\/li>\n
      8. Click Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      9. Enter the path to the directory you wish the user to have FTP access to. This can be the full site directory or limited to a single sub directory. \"\"<\/li>\n
      10. Click Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      11. Set the Access Permissions, Read<\/strong> and\/or Write<\/strong>. This will control the access level the FTP user has on the files in the FTP home directory. \"\"<\/li>\n
      12. Click Next<\/strong>. Click Finish<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Once the FTP site is configured in IIS you will need to assign the FTP user you created to the FTP site.<\/p>\n

        To assign a user to the FTP site, please follow these steps:<\/h2>\n
          \n
        1. Right click the FTP site you created and select Properties<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        2. Select the Security Accounts<\/strong> Tab. \"\"<\/li>\n
        3. Be sure Allow Anonymous Connections IS UNCHECKED<\/strong>. We do not allow Anonymous FTP access. This is a potential security risk for the server.<\/li>\n
        4. Add the user to the FTP site.\n
            \n
          1. If you are using IIS 5.0, under FTP Site Operators<\/strong>, click Add<\/strong>. Select the FTP user from the Menu and click OK<\/strong>. \"\"<\/li>\n
          2. If you are using IIS 6.0, right-click the FTP site and select Permissions<\/strong>. Select the FTP user and click OK<\/strong>. \"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
