IIS FTP Settings

We just set up a FTP Server with a Windows 2003 Server.

We allow anonymouse login and we only allow them to READ
from the FTP Server.

However, we find that it is inconvenient for us AS
sometimes we would like to Write / PUT to the FTP Server
but it is not allowed.

Is it possible for us to create another user account so
that it allows READ / WRITE while keeping anonymous as
READ only ?

Thanks

You can use NTFS permissions to control this.

Another way would be to create two FTP sites that point to the same physical
directories on the server. One site allows anonymous access (and Read only),
and the other site requires a login, but allows read/write. I would
recommend this as the better solution.

Cheers
Ken

Hi Peter,

NTFS permissions can be used to control who can write to the folder, and
who can only read.

Hi,

Would it be possible for you to explain how the settings of NTFS Permission
should be ?

Does it mean that in FTP Server, it will be Read & Write checkboxes are
enabled ?

For NTFS, the setting is as follow:
All User - Read Only
PowerU (Create another user name) - Read / Write

Thank you for your help.

In IIS Manager, you can choose to create new FTP sites just like you can
create new Websites, and SMTP virtual servers.

Cheers

As suggested before, relying on NTFS permissions alone is not recommended.

However, you could set Read permissions for the Anonymous user account.
For all other users that should be given write permissions, you would
usually create a group for those users, put all the relevant user accounts
into that group, and then give the group NTFS Read, Write and Delete
permissions.

Cheers
Ken
