My objective is to setup an experimental IIS 7.5 based web server (at home) using Dynamic DNS.
The following are the steps that I have done successfully:
<div mce_keep="true">Register three free domain names from
www.dyndns.org. From now on, I named them as aaa.game-host.org,
bbb.blogsite.org, ccc.selfip.org.</div>
<div mce_keep="true">Configure my router to forward external requests for ports 80, 21, and 25 to my static IP 192.168.1.100.</div>
<div mce_keep="true">Configure my router to contact
www.dyndns.org and update the dns list whenever my ip changes.</div>
<div mce_keep="true">Install Windows 2008 R2 and setup static IP 192.168.1.100.</div>
<div mce_keep="true">Install IIS 7.5 (ASP.NET + any related ones) and FTP role (I checked both options).</div>
Here are the steps that I don't know how to begin.
I want each domain name has separate site, separate directory, separate administrator account with ftp publishing support.
Any kind of suggestion is appreciated to let me know the minimal steps that I must do.
Create multiple web sites which point to their own physical directories, and use host headers to distinguise them.
Add FTP publishing to each of the sites and also configure virtual host names for them.
But talking about administrator account, not sure what you are asking for. Do you mean "local administrator" or another concept? Maybe you need IIS Manager users who can be configured for feature delegation and FTP site logon account.

<div mce_keep="true">I created three sites, each points to a separate physical directory, and each uses a unique host header but with the same IP address 192.168.1.10. I also left the default for the pass-through authentication setting.
I can successfully visit my sites from internet (even using anonymous proxy).</div>
<div mce_keep="true"> Next I add FTP publishing to each site with the same IP but with unique Virtual Host Name. I set Allow SSL, SSL certificate not selected, Anonymous & Basis Authentication, give authorization to my admin account "Administrator", and
finish. I tried to connect from ftp client, but it did not work. I tried active and passive mode, using either anonymous or Administrator, but I still could not access it. Port forwarding and firewall are already configured to allow ftp.</div>
Do you have the same experience ? how to solve it?
If your problem persists, please post the relevant FTP log entries here.
Hi Leo Tang,
Thank for the link.
I am doing the steps explained in the article.
Now I am in Step 2: Configure the external IPv4 Address for a Specific FTP Site (Enter the IPv4 address of the external-facing address of your firewall server for the External IP Address of Firewall setting.)
I am confused with the the term "external IP address of firewall".
Which ip address should I use for it?
Here is my configuration:
ROUTER WAN IP : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (dynamic ip)
ROUTER LAN IP : 192.168.1.1 (static ip)
FTP Server IP : 192.168.1.10 (static ip)
My router has port forwarding feature and I already open ports 60000~65535 for passive ftp.
The problem here is that you have dynamic IP address as router WAN IP. But for FTP 7.5 External Firewall IP Address, it expects a static IP address.
I guess that prevents some FTP clients from accessing the FTP server via passive mode. But it is a must to review network packets to confirm if that's the case.

Hi,
Ask your dynamic DNS provider on such questions. Such networking configuration is out of IIS's control.

Hi Yuko,
Two things you need to check next,
1. What error was logged in FTP logs. That can show us how to resolve the error. (C:\inetpub\logs\logfiles\FTPSVC*)
2. Install an FTP client on the server and test directly to see if this is a network issue.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Now I can access my ftp. The key is I must logon using:
aaa.domain1.com|Administrator instead of Administrator only.
Unfortunately, I still cannot access my ftp in passive mode. Only active mode works.
