FTP Manuel

written by: Chris Weaver

1. If the Internet Services Manager is not installed on your computer, then go to Start/Settings/Control Panel and click on the add/remove programs icon, then click the add/remove Windows components option.

2. If the Internet Informations Services (IIS) box is not checked then check it and click Next, otherwise it is installed and you need to skip this step. Follow the steps up until the wizard asks you to click finish.

3. Go to Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/Internet Services Manager. You should see the name of your computer listed there. Right click on it, scroll down to New/FTP Site and click.

4. When the FTP Site Creation Wizard runs click Next and enter the information it asks for. Make sure you use the IP address of "your" computer. Make and/or choose a folder that you would like to have shared, such as Public Access, and use this folder for your FTP Site. It is your option whether the user can just read the site or read and write to the site. Click Finish and you have your FTP site ready.

5. Right-click on the account you just made for FTP and you can change the settings and security to suit your needs.

6. Also if there is trouble accessing your FTP site, make sure you allow your folder, that you chose for the FTP site to be shared.

7. Enjoy using your FTP site!!
