Difference Between FTP Publishing and having a FTP Server under IIS

neildt — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:06:34 GMT

I'm fairly experience with regards IIS6 and am now upgrading our sites to IIS7.

My question is I noticed that you can configure a website to have FTP access using FTP Publishing - which I've configured using basic windows authentication, SSL and user isolation - and it works great basically the user can FTP into their own home directory where there website is hosted.

So my actual question is for what reasons should I consider setting up a FTP Server under IIS7 instead of using this method rather than FTP publishing.

FTP publishin issue

rietsch — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:06:50 GMT

Hi,

The issue:

From the WAN, I get timeouts when trying to access the FTP, the HTTP site works just fine

From the DMZ, I have access to the FTP and HTTP no problem (tested from the FE firewall)

From the LAN, I have timeouts as well when acessing the FTP. HTTP still fine.

The error (comming from the back end firewall in the monitor)

0x8007274c WSAETIMEDOUT

My config:

WAN

Front end firewall (TMG on Win 2k8 SP2 x64)

DMZ with IIS7 server

Back end Firewall (ISA 2006 on Win 2k3 R2)

LAN

On the IIS7 server, I have a website and an FTP site and using 2 different IPs in the bindings

I have almost the same publishing rule on both firewalls:

Name: Publish FTP server

Traffic: FTP Server

From: Anywhere

To: IP address of the FTP server in the DMZ

checked request appear to come from the [firewall] computer (tried both settings, same thing)

Networks: External, Internal, local host (for the FE); External, Internal (for the BE)

On the FTP server, in the firewall settings, I can set the external firewall IP or not, same thing.

It has to be something stupid but I just don't see what!?

Accessing FTP sites using Windows/Internet Explorer

C@bleGuy — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:32:26 GMT

Please go easy on me, it's my first post :)

I have a Win2K8 IIS7 server with multiple sites, both web and FTP. Some of the sites have FTP publishing added to the website and some are just FTP sites on their own.

I using a single public IP and bindings to separate the sites e.g. ftp.domain1.com and ftp.domain2.com.

I'm using Active FTP and the firewall has been configured correctly. I can FTP using Command Prompt, SmartFTP and had a colleague login successfully with CoreFTP.

My issue is that I can no longer FTP using Windows or Internet Explorer (Passive has been disabled).

I get the following error:

220 Microsoft FTP Service
550-No such host is known.
Win32 error: No such host is known.
Error Details: Hostname didn't match any configured ftp site.
550 End

As mentioned before FTP does work using CMD, SmartFTP and CoreFTP so it must be configured correctly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

How to publish with FTP7.5 and hide other folders

Bydia — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 02:17:48 GMT

I set up FTP publishing on my default web site using the newer FTP 7.5 on IIS7 on Win2008 Server. I secured it with Require SSL. I can lock down who can read and write to which subfolders(virtual webs).... however, I would like to hide the folders that one does not have access to like I saw in one of the videos. How do I do that?

Thanks in advance,

Restrict FTP users to a Web virtual directory

pointbar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:12:53 GMT

How do I restrict an FTP user to a virtual directroy under a Web site? I have an umbrella Web site www.myweb.net.au with virtual directories for each user's Web site like:

www.myweb.net.au/fred
www.myweb.net.au/bill
www.myweb.net.au/sue

How do I restrict bill, fred and sue to the files in the own directory?

Best wishes,
Malcolm
