Hi
I am using Windosw Server 2008 and IIs 7. I want to setup this server as test server for web development but I havent much experience in setting up servers.
I can see the home page for Default Web Site on my local nework .. 192.168.1.*. I tried adding FTP publishing to Default Web Site so that I can upload/download files to/from server from another machines on my local network.
Under IIS Manager > Site > for Default Web Site
I can see Status: Started(http), Started (ftp) and Binding - *:80(http), *:21: (ftp) .. I didn't enter any Virtual Host in Add FTP Site Publishing.
Other settings in Add FTP Site Publishing are -> Allow SSL, Authentication : Basic, Allow access to : Specified Users .. I put "administrator" as user and gave it Read, Write permissions.
From a machine on local network .. I just tried entering 192.168.1.10 on IE and could see home page.. If I try to connect to FTP using FileZilla by entering 192.168.1.10 (host), Logontype: Normal, and "administrator" as username and its password then it willnot connect. It does say connection established, waiting for welcome message.. but then it would get timed out. I am not sure if I am doing it right way.
I tried looking into other forums entries .. there are talks about firewall settings .. is it a firewall problem with me? or am not doing it right way??
Please guide and help me out. I know its a bit lengthy post.. but thanks for your time.
