How to turn Windows Vista into an FTP server on the LAN

Deploy a LAN FTP server, which is convenient for users to upload and download resources. It is the optimal solution for LAN file sharing. We know that XP system can be turned into an FTP server. Vista has now entered the user's computer. How to deploy an FTP server with Vista?

First, install IIS in Vista

Open the “Control Panel” window of the Vista operating system, click the “Programs” option in the window, and click “Open or close the Windows function” link in the open page. In the pop-up dialog box, expand the “Internet Information Service” option, and check the “FTP Publishing Service” and “FTP Server” and “FTP Management Console” options that appear under it. (Figure 1)

To avoid FTP server due to lack of some services can not start, it is best to check at the same time & ldquo; WEB Management Tools & rdquo;, & ldquo; World Wide Web Services & rdquo; option. After pressing the “OK" button, you can start installing <Internet Information Services". (Figure 2)

Tip: XP's IIS by & ldquo; Control Panel & rdquo; of & ldquo; Add or Remove Programs & rdquo; in the window & ldquo; Add /Remove Windows Components & rdquo; installation, which One point is slightly different from the way Vista is installed.

Second, create an FTP site

Step 1: After IIS is installed, click the “Start” menu, and then expand “All Programs & Rarr; Management Tools & Rarr; Internet Information Service (IIS) Manager & rdquo;. Double-click the computer name on the page that appears, select the expanded “FTP site”, click “click here to launch”link. In the pop-up window, expand the “Internet Information Service & Rarr; Local Computer & Rarr; FTP Site” option on the device side list. Right-click on it and select the “New →FTP Site” command on the shortcut menu. (Figure 3)

Step Two: In the pop-up & ldquo; FTP Site Creation Wizard & rdquo; dialog box, set the FTP server IP address and port number (usually selected port number 21) Click “Next” button, in the “FTP User Isolation” page, click “Do not quarantine user” to allow users to access other folders on the FTP server. If you click the option & ldquo; Quarantine User & rdquo;, the user will only be able to access the specified folder. Click the “Next” button, then click the “Browse” button on the page to select the FTP server's home folder. (Figure 4)

The third step: then enter & ldquo; FTP site access & rdquo; dialog, just check & ldquo; read & rdquo; optional items, the average user will not be able to upload, Delete and modify files. Checking the "Write" option will give the user full FTP site permissions. When the above settings are completed, click the “Complete" button to create the FTP server. (Figure 5)

Step Four: Return & ldquo; Internet Information Services Manager & rdquo; window, expand the list on the left & ldquo; FTP server name option, select the created; FTP site & rdquo Click the “Start Project” button on the toolbar to get the FTP server up and running. (FIG. 6)

Tip: IIS5.1 XP system, when creating an FTP Server does not provide & ldquo; user & rdquo;

three, provided FTP server

After the FTP server is installed, you need to set it accordingly according to actual requirements. Let's take the most common user settings as an example to explain the setup process.

Step 1: Right-click on the name of the created FTP server and select the “Permissions” command on the right-click menu. Click the “Edit” button below the "Security" Dialog Group" group or username" area to add the user <;LW" to the "group or username" list.

Step 2: Select “LW” in the "Group or User Name" list, in the "LW Permissions" list below, check “Read & Execute&rdquo ;,“list the folder directory” and “read”options, click the “OK” button to complete the assignment of the corresponding permissions. (Figure 7)

Step Three: Click the Security dialog box & ldquo; Superior & rdquo; button, open the & ldquo; Advanced Security Settings & rdquo; page, click on the & ldquo; rights & rdquo; tab And click on the “Edit” button on it. In the pop-up page, remove the hook that includes the permission to continue from the object's parent, click the <;OK” button to complete the permission settings. (Figure 8)

Tip: When using a user name and password specified can download all the resources, do not allow upload function, you should disable the FTP server of & ldquo; anonymous access & rdquo; function, otherwise The anonymous user has the "Write" permission because the FTP server has set the "Write" permission for the main directory.

Comments: Using the XP operating system IIS5.1 to configure the FTP server, when setting the FTP folder, no matter whether the folder is in the NTFS partition or the FAT partition, the "privilege" command is not provided. However, by default, users with different permissions still have different usage rights for folders located on the NTFS partition on the FTP server.

Fourth, open access to the FTP port

When we log in to the FTP server in Vista from XP, there will be a situation where the FTP server cannot be opened. What is the reason? This is the case Because there is no setting for the firewall that comes with Vista. Go to the “Control Panel” window and select the “Security” component. Double-click the “Windows Firewall Settings” page in the pop-up page. Click on the “Exceptions” tab and check the “Options” list. FTP server & rdquo; can be optional. (Figure 9)

Summary: FTP server set up in Vista, the biggest feature is the high security, because Vista's security is better, meticulous division of permissions, advanced firewall features & ldquo The "inbound rules" and "outbound rules" can be set to access rules, which other operating systems can not match. In addition, the use of IIS6.0 features has also been enhanced.
