Compatibility

Version Notes

IIS 7.5 The FTP 7.5 service ships as a feature for IIS 7.5 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

IIS 7.0The FTP 7.0 and FTP 7.5 services were shipped out-of-band for IIS 7.0, which required downloading and installing the service from the followingURL: http://www.iis.net/download/FTP (http://www.iis.net/download/FTP).

Introduction

Microsoft has created a new FTP service that has been completely rewritten for Windows Server 2008. This FTP service incorporates many new features

that enable web authors to publish content better than before, and offers web administrators more security and deployment options.

This document walks you through using the folder-based quotas provided by Windows Server 2008's File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) with the new

FTP service to create a publicly accessible FTP site with a fixed quota size. It contains:

More Information (http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/307/using-fsrm-folder-quotas-with-ftp/#03)

Note: This walkthrough contains a series of steps in which you log on to your FTP site using the local administrator account. These steps should only be

followed on the server itself using the loopback address or over SSL from a remote server. If you prefer to use a separate user account instead of the

administrator account, you must create the appropriate folders and set the correct permissions for that user account when necessary.

Prerequisites

The following items are required to be installed to complete the procedures in this article:

IIS 7.0 must be installed on your Windows 2008 Server 2008, and the Internet Information Services Manager must be installed.

The new FTP service. You can download and install the FTP service from the http://www.iis.net/ (http://www.iis.net/) web site using one of thefollowing links:

FTP 7.5 for IIS 7.0 (x64) (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=143197)

FTP 7.5 for IIS 7.0 (x86) (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=143196)

You must create a root folder for FTP publishing:

Create a folder at "C:\inetpub\ftproot"

Set the permissions to allow anonymous access:

Open a command prompt.

Type the following command:ICACLS "C:\inetpub\inetpub\ftproot" /Grant IUSR:R /T

Close the command prompt.

Note: The settings listed in this walkthrough specify "C:\inetpub\ftproot" as the path to your FTP site. You are not required to use this path; however, if

you change the location for your site you will have to change the site-related paths that are used throughout this walkthrough.

Create a New FTP Site

In this section we create a new FTP site that can be opened for Read-only access by anonymous users and Read/Write access by the administrator

account.

Step 1: Use the FTP Site Wizard to Create an FTP Site with Anonymous Authentication

Create an FTP site where users will be able to access content anonymously. Use the following steps:

Go to the IIS 7.0 Manager. In the Connections pane, click the Sites node in the tree.1.

Right-click the Sites node in the tree and clickAdd FTP Site, or clickAdd FTP Site in theActions pane.

(/file.axd?i=444)

2.

When theAdd FTP Site wizard appears:

Enter "My New FTP Site" in the FTP site name box, then navigate to the "C:\inetpub\ftproot" folder that you created in the Prerequisitessection.Note: If you choose to type in the path to your content folder, you can use environment variables in your paths; for example:"%SystemDrive%\inetpub\ftproot"

ClickNext.

(/file.axd?i=660)

On the next page of the wizard:

Choose an IP address for your FTP site from the IP Address drop-down, or choose to accept the default selection of "All Unassigned." Becauseyou will be using the administrator account later in this walk-through, you make sure that you restrict access to the server and enter the localloopback IP address for your computer by typing "127.0.0.1" in the IP Address box.

You would normally enter the TCP/IP port for the FTP site in the Port box. For this walk-through, you will choose to accept the default port of21.

For this walkthrough, you will not use a host name, so make sure that the Virtual Host box is blank.

Make sure that the Certificates drop-down is set to "Not Selected" and that the Allow SSL option is selected.

When you have completed these items, clickNext.

(/file.axd?i=661) (/file.axd?i=1616)

Summary

To recap the items that you completed in this step:

You created a new FTP site named "My New FTP Site", with the site's content root at "C:\inetpub\ftproot".1.

You bound the FTP site to the local loopback address for your computer on port 21, choosing not to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the FTP site.2.

You created a default rule for the FTP site to allow anonymous users "Read" access to the files.3.

You added an authorization rule that allows the administrator account both "Read" and "Write" permissions for the FTP site.4.

You added Basic Authentication to the FTP site.5.

You configured the FTP site to display the available bytes to users.6.

Installing and Configuring the File Server Resource Manager Service

Summary

To recap the items that you completed in this step:

You added the File Services role to your server, and added the File Server Resource Manager role service.1.

You added a folder quota for your FTP site's content directory.2.

Once folder quotas have been enabled for a content path for an FTP site and the site has been configured to display the available bytes, FTP will return the

available bytes every time a directory listing command is sent by and FTP client.

Note: Some graphical FTP clients may not show this information unless they support some form of viewing the activity log for the FTP session.
