How To Set Up an FTP Server in Windows Server 2003

Install Internet Information Services and the FTP Service
Because FTP depends on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), IIS and the FTP Service must be installed on the computer. To install IIS and the FTP Service, follow these steps.
NOTE: In Windows Server 2003, the FTP Service is not installed by default when you install IIS. If you already installed IIS on the computer, you must use the Add or Remove Programs tool in Control Panel to install the FTP Service.
Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
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.
Click to select the following check boxes (if they are not already selected):
Common FilesFile Transfer Protocol (FTP) ServiceInternet Information Services Manager
Click to select the check boxes next to any other IIS-related service or subcomponent that you want to install, and then click OK.
Click Next.
When you are prompted, insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive or provide a path to the location of the files, and then click OK.
Click Finish.
IIS and the FTP service are now installed. You must configure the FTP Service before you can use it.

Configure The FTP Service
To configure the FTP Service to allow only anonymous connections, follow these steps:
Start Internet Information Services Manager or open the IIS snap-in.
Expand Server_name, where Server_name is the name of the server.
Expand FTP Sites
Right-click Default FTP Site, and then click Properties.
Click the Security Accounts tab.
Click to select the Allow Anonymous Connections check box (if it is not already selected), and then click to select the Allow only anonymous connections check box. When 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 by using user names and passwords.
Click the Home Directory tab.
Click to select the Read and Log visits check boxes (if they are not already selected), and then click to clear the Write check box (if it is not already cleared).
Click OK.
Quit 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 make available to the FTP publishing folder for access. The default folder is drive:\Inetpub\Ftproot, where drive is the drive on which IIS is installed.

Configure a default Web site
When you install IIS, it is preconfigured to serve as a default Web site; however, you may want to change some of the settings. To change the basic settings for the Web site and to emulate the steps that are required to set up Apache for the first time by using the configuration file:
1. Log on to the Web server computer as an administrator.
2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Services Manager.
4. Right-click the Web site that you want to configure in the left pane, and then click Properties.
5. Click the Web site tab.
6. Type a description for the Web site in the Description box.
7. Type the Internet Protocol (IP) address to use for the Web site or leave the All (Unassigned) default setting.
8. Modify the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port as appropriate.
9. Click the Home Directory tab.
10. To use a folder on the local computer, click A directory on this computer, and then click Browse to locate the folder that you want to use.
11. To use a folder that has been shared from another computer on the network, click A share located on another computer, and then either type the network path or click Browse to select the shared folder.
12. Click Read to grant read access to the folder (required).
13. Click OK to accept the Web site properties.


Create a new Web site
To create a new Web site in Apache, you must set up a virtual host and configure the individual settings for the host. If you are using IIS, you can create a new Web site by translating the following terms to the IIS equivalents:
Collapse this tableExpand this table
Apache term IIS term
DocumentRoot IIS Web Site Home Directory
ServerName IIS Host Header
Listen IIS IP Address and TCP Port

IIS IP Address and TCP Port
To create a new Web site in IIS, follow these steps:
1. Log on to the Web server computer as an administrator.
2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Services Manager.
4. Click Action, point to New, and then click Web Site.
5. After the Web Site Creation Wizard starts, click Next.
6. Type a description for the Web site. This description is used internally to identify the Web site in Internet Services Manager only.
7. Select the IP address to use for the site. If you select All (unassigned), the Web site is accessible on all interfaces and all configured IP addresses.
8. Type the TCP port number to publish the site on.
9. Type the Host Header name (the real name that is used to access this site).
10. Click Next.
11. Either type the path to the folder that is holding the Web site documents or click Browse to select the folder, and then click Next.
12. Select the access permissions for the Web site, and then click Next.
13. Click Finish.
