Got the IIS working

cannot get ftp end to work correctly
can someone direct me to a usergroup
or website perhaps, something with clear
instructions to get the ftp working....
thanks in advance

The ftp should start right up. It is in C:\Inetpub\ftproot. Give that
folder NTFS permissions Everyone Group all permissions enabled. You will
NOT use this folder when you go live but that is how the root should be set.
Don't worry no one can get into that folder once we set where the Anonymous
account will go and then we will have Everyone only Read. System and Admin
will have full permissions.

Your test is ftp://localhost. Should end up in C:\Inetpub\ftproot put a
text file in there so you see it in your browser.

where do I set these permissions
in the folder window?(where I view my documents etc)
or
in the Internet Information Services Properties Window

either way, I set what I think are the necessary options and still says I
have no permission to access when trying to view the ftp area

Don't use the Microsoft FTP service, download and use the Free FileZilla
Server version. FZ Server is open source and doesn't require that EVERY
user have a Windows Account - you can also configure each users root
folder, permissions, band-width, etc...

I run File Zilla Server on my Windows 2000/2003 servers and have never
had it fault. It sure makes life a LOT easier as I don't have to worry
about creating Windows accounts for users.

thanks, maybe will give this a check, not necessarily needing ftp, it just
comes in handy for transfering large mp3's... thanks again everybody for your
help

You set NTFS permissions in Windows Explorer. You will need to be familiar
with setting NTFS permissions before you dive into Windows FTP or you will
regret it.
