Installing webserver

[Paulo Acúrcio]

Hi

I'm a newbie installing a server with Windows 2003 Standard, to put in a ISP
to work as a webserver.

Since I'm new in this I would apreciate some security advices or some links.

Which is the best (securest) way to upload files to the server? FTP?

Is it recomendable to use TCP/IP filtering and/or ICF?

Thanks in advance

Hi Paulo. I woud for to the link below at TechNet Security to read up on
first. Be sure to read about the IIS lockdown tool also There is a IIS
security newsgroup where you may want to post your IIS related questions.
Good luck. --- Steve
