 CONFIGURING FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL IN WINDOWS SERVER

 

STEP1- Deploy A Windows Server In Any Cloud Platform

STEP2- From Server Manager Of Windows Server Install

       1.web server IIS from(server-roles)

       2.ftp server from role services

         +ftpservices

         +ftpextensiblity

STEP3- Create Users From Computer Management Tab

 

If there are multiple users then create a group and add the users to the group so that we can easily mange them

Create a folder Either in default folder of ftp or any other location to setup file-share and give the required NTFS permissions to that folder

The default folder for ftp server to store the files is C:\inetpub\ftproot,

 

 

add the users and give the required access to that folder

 

STEP4- Configure The Ftp Server From IIS Manager

  

 

Add a new ftp site

give the folder path where you want to store the ftp files

the default folder for ftp server to store the files is C:\inetpub\ftproot,

we can give any other path as per our requirement

 

 

if we want to give specific domain to access ftp server then select the specific domain or ip address, here we are selecting our private ip from dropdown menu to bind ftp to our ip address or else leave it as it is.

 

in this lab we dont have any SSL certificate or domain so we are selecting no SSL option and continue

 

AUTHENTICATION METHOD AND AUTHORIZATION METHOD

Anonymous user should be selected if we want our ftp server to be accessed from any-user.

Basic should be selected if we want to give access to our ftp server to only particular users.

 

 

now copy some files to the ftp folder

STEP-5

Install File Zilla In Our Local Windows Client Machine.

STEP6-

Turn Off Windows Firewall To Avoid Any Connectivity Issues

STEP7-

Allow Ports Http-80 And Ftp 21 In Cloud Provider

STEP8-

Connect From File-Zilla Using Vm External Ip And User Credentials Which We Have Created

 

Thus The Ftp Server Has Been Connected To The Client Machine

If The User Has Only Read Permissions He Cannot Do Any Write Operations In It.
