Well Shashi , File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network such as the Internet.
FTP is a file transfer protocol for exchanging and manipulating files over a TCP computer network. A FTP client may connect to a FTP server to manipulate files on that server. As there are many FTP client and server programs available for different operating systems, FTP is a popular choice for exchanging files independent of the operating systems involved.
To configure an FTP site in IIS, please follow these steps:
1. Log into your server through Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Connection.
2. Create a username you would like to have FTP access to the server. For detailed instructions on creating a new user please see How do I create a new user on my Windows 2000 & 2003 Server?
3. Click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Internet Services Manager.
4.Open the New FTP Site Wizard:
1. In IIS 5.0, right click the machine name and select New, FTP site.
2. In IIS 6.0, expand local machine and right click on FTP Sites and select New, FTP site
5. Click Next to begin.
6. Enter a description for the site. Typically this will be the domain name for the site.
7. Select the IP address for the site, or if the customer is using name based hosting select [All Unassigned] The TCP Port remains 21.
8.Click Next.
9. If you are using IIS 6.0 you will need to set FTP User Isolation. We strongly recommend you select Do not isolate Users.
10. Click Next.
11. 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.
12. Click Next.
13. Set the Access Permissions, Read and/or Write. This will control the access level the FTP user has on the files in the FTP home directory.
14. Click Next. Click Finish.
