FTP Server Administration:

Setting, configuring, administration ftp server

We can configure the ftp settings at server level and so that new ftp site will get those.

Or we can do that things at site level

At server level, we have ftp settings

Ftp authentication

1. Anonymous authentication

2. Basic authentication

It is in disabled state… Enable it

Ftp authorization rules:

We can add rules to allow the users to access the particular resource

rule1: allow all the users for read

Ftp directory browsing:

You can check the directory browsing style in MS dos or Unix format

All this settings are done at server level

Create a new ftp site and give the path and give the bindings as all unassigned, port 21,no ssl

After creating site, we will get the server level configuration settings to site

we can create folder in ftp path directory by going to path, or we can done by adding virtual directory, both are same, and the difference can be known as some symbol appears on directories will differentiate.

Ftp messages: we can add some messages so that the users will see when they view the ftp site

Ftp request filtering:

You can add the file extensions so that only we come

ftp logging: same as like normal iis site logging

Ftp ipv4 address and site restrictions: here we can add the ip address that will be allowed or that will be denied

Ftp user isolation:

Isolate the users

Don’t isolate users, start users in

1. Ftp root directory: when users logged, they will be in root directory

2. User name directory: when user logged they will be in their directory, but they will see other directories

Isolated users, RESTRICT THE USERS TO THE FOLLOWING,

1. User name directory (disable global virtual directories)

2. User name physical directory (enable global virtual directories)

If you go isolate users, then choose 1st option
