    FTP Access to a web site

    Hi,

    What is the best way to setup FTP access to a web site? I usually create a web site then create an FTP site pointing to the same folder. But this is double the work and clutters the IIS Manager. Is there a better way to give FTP access to an existing web site?
    Thanks,



    Sam

    This is fine. And it's required to configure both www and ftp separately.
    Only thing to take note is that FTP doesn't provide any mean of security, so
    you might want to secure the connection with VPN or etc. Or change file
    uploading to WebDAV.

    Could someone give me more detailed info about secure the FTP server?
    I am going to build a nightly upload/downdown procedures to transfer 30GM data from Host Server to client's own database server.

    Database ? or normal file ?

    IIS FTP doesn't offers any mean of security. You need to secure it via IPSec or VPN.
