Those instructions presume you are Not running the FP SE, but just a localhost site
- you don't need a FTP server, ignore the instructions (and remove it from your IIS details)

| Why does it say copy???? and then why under publish does it keep referring
| to ftp??? I want to publish to localhost!
| ********************************************************************************************
| Quick Site Setup with IIS
|
| IIS creates a default Web site and FTP site when you install Windows XP
| Professional. This topic describes how to publish information on these
| default sites.
|
| To publish content on your Web site
|
| 1. Create a home page for your Web site. See Choosing an
| Authoring Tool for more information on available tools used in Web site
| creation.
|
| 2. Name your home page file Default.htm or Default.asp.
|
| 3. Copy your home page into the default Web publishing
| directory for IIS. The default Web publishing directory is also called the
| home directory, and the location provided by Setup is \Inetpub\Wwwroot.
|
| 4. If your network has a name resolution system (typically
| DNS), then visitors can simply type your computer name in the address bar of
| their browsers to reach your site. If your network does not have a name
| resolution system, visitors must type the numerical IP address of your
| computer. For more information, see About Name Resolution.
|
| To publish content on your FTP site
|
| 1. Copy or move your files into the default FTP publishing
| directory. The default directory provided by Setup is \Inetpub\Ftproot.
|
| 2. If your network has a name resolution system (typically
| DNS), then visitors can type ftp:// followed by your computer name in the
| address bar of their browsers to reach your site. If your network does not
| have a name resolution system, visitors must type ftp:// and the numerical
| IP address of your computer. To customize the appearance of your FTP site,
| see Setting FTP Messages and Directory Output Style.
