General setup problem


General setup problem Sean Vreeland
4/18/2006 3:54:01 PM
iis ftp: I’m new at FTP and IIS, so please excuse me.

I’m attempting to install a fresh FTP site on my Windows Server 2003. i
think I've added the FTP site correctly, but when I try and browse the FTP
site on the localhost, I get a username and password dialogue box.

Should this be happening?

Unless you allow anonymous, yes.

Okay, I'm still confused

Click the Security Accounts tab, and then do one of the following:
• To permit anonymous connections to the FTP site, click to select the Allow
anonymous connections check box (if it is not already selected). If you want
to use a Windows user account other than the default IUSER_ComputerName,
specify the user name and password in the User name and Password boxes.

When I set to permit anon access, and then set any username and password, I
am still unable to access the FTP site via localhost?

Ok, assuming you select custom user account. did you select the correct user
via browse button and then enter the user password. if yes, and you still
can't login. try connect via ftp.exe at the machine itself

c:\> ftp localhost

do you see the login prompt, try login as 'anonymous'
username = ftp
pwd = ftp

IIS will treat this as anonymous access.

Okay, this is what I'm confused about. in the Security Accounts tab of the
FTP site, do I want to put a valid Domain Username and PW in, or a LOCAL
Username? If Domain, that would mean I have to creat an account on the DC
(which is not this server) that I could use for FTP access? Or does the UN
and PW I input in the security accounts tab have to be a valid local windows
account?

My goal is to creat a FTP site that would require domain user accounts to
gain access to the FTP.

Make sense?

Ok. that's up to your requirement. you can pick a local or domain account
for anonymous access as long as the user has access right and priviliges.

Next, if you want domain user to authenticate, then skip anonymous access
and you are there. if the ftp server is part of the domain, you can already
authenticate via domain account.

Re: General setup problem Sean Vreeland
4/21/2006 4:49:01 PM
okay, now we're getting somewhere.

but now I'm having troubles running the adsutil tool.

I'm confused as to the text usage.

From my understanding, I should use it like this:

cscript.exe adsutil.bs set msftpsvc/defaultlogondomain "HBH"

HBH being our domain. (or do I need to put hbh.local)

is this right?

however, when I input this, I get "input error: can not find script file
"c:\documents and settings\adm. . . . . etc."

What am I doing wrong?

HBH will do, I believed.

You need to go to c:\inetpub\adminscripts\ folder, then execute it

okay, I ran the script and I got

defaultlogondomain : <string> "hbh"

Was this what I was supposed to get?

If so, I'm still having the same problem. . .I try to browse the FTP site
within IIS, and it asks me for a UN and PW?

What you did is just for default logon domain, you still need to enter UN
and PWD to access.
Even with anonymous ftp, you still need to enter username as anonymous....
some ftp software auto login for you, but generally you need to logon to
ftp.

after you entered username and password, you can't login?

Bernard:

Right, when I try and browse the site within IIS, it will prompt for a UN
and PW, and i will enter the domain Admin credentials, however, the logon box
will just reapper as if the credentials are wrong.

I have anon access disabled.

No, same problem. When I attempt to browse the FTP site within the IIS
manager, it will prompt for a username and PW. I try to use the domain admin
account, and it will not let me on.
