Use this property sheet to set the identification parameters for your server. The server and domain names and the IP address are optional.

(Collapse All)

Identification

Description

You can use any name you want for the server name. This name is primarily for your own identification and organizational purposes.

IP Address

For an address to appear in this box, it must have already been defined for use in Control Panel. See your Windows documentation for more information.

TCP Port

Determines the port on which the service is running.

The default is port 21. You can change the port to any unique TCP port number; however, clients must know in advance to request that port number, or their requests will fail to connect to your server.

Connection

Unlimited

Allows an unlimited number of simultaneous connections to the server.

Limited To

Sets the maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed to the server.

Connection Timeout

Sets the length of time before the server disconnects an inactive user. This ensures that all connections are closed if the HTTP protocol fails to close a connection.

Enable Logging

Select this check box to enable FTP site logging, which can record details about user activity and create logs in various formats. After enabling logging, select a format in the Active log format list. The formats are as follows:

Microsoft IIS Log Format:  A fixed ASCII format.

W3C Extended Log File Format:  A customizable ASCII format, selected by default.

ODBC Logging: (Available only with Windows 2000 Server)  A fixed format logged to a database.

To configure the options for log file creation (for example, weekly, or by file size), or to configure properties for W3C Extended logging or ODBC logging, click Properties.

Virtual Directory Properties - Virtual Directory Property Sheet

Use this property sheet to change the properties of a virtual directory in your FTP site. A virtual directory is a directory that is not physically contained within the home directory, but which appears as though it were to users who visit your FTP site.

To add a new virtual directory to an FTP site, right-click the FTP site, select Create New, and then click Virtual Directory.

A virtual directory can be mapped to any of the following:

A directory located on this computer.

A directory located on another computer (a network share). When prompted, type the user name and password needed to access that computer. Click Connect As to change the user name and password.

For procedural information, see Creating Virtual Directories.

FTP Site Directory

In the text box, type the path to the directory or the destination URL. The syntax must match the selected path type:

For a local directory, use the full path; for example, C:\Catalog\Shoes. You can also click the Browse button to select a local directory rather than typing the path.

For a network share, use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) server and share name; for example, \\Webserver\Htmlfiles.

Browse

To select a local directory rather than typing the directory path in the Path text box, click Browse.

Read

To enable users to read or download files stored in a home directory or a virtual directory, select this option.

Write

Allows users to upload files to the enabled directory on your server. Select this option only for directories that are intended to accept files from users.

Log visits

To record visits to this directory in a log file, select this check box. Visits are recorded only if logging is enabled for this FTP site. Logging is enabled by default. To turn off logging, select the FTP site, open its property sheets, click the FTP Site tab, and then clear the Enable Logging check box.

FTP Site Properties - Directory Security Property Sheet

Use this property sheet to set access (by specific IP address) to block individuals or groups from gaining access to your server.

TCP/IP Access Restrictions

You can control access to FTP resources, such as sites, virtual directories, or files,  by specifying the IP address, subnet mask, or domain name of the computer or computers to be granted or denied access.

Granted Access

To list computers that will be denied access, select this option.

Denied Access

To list computers that will be granted access, select this option.

Add

To add computers that you want to deny access to, select the Granted Access button and click Add. Conversely, to add computers that you want to grant access to, select the Denied Access button, and click Add.

Note   Computers accessing your server across proxy servers will appear to have the IP address of the proxy server.

For more information, see Granting and Denying Access to Computers.

FTP Site Properties - Home Directory Property Sheet

Use this property sheet to change the home directory for your FTP site or to modify its properties. The home directory is the central location for the published files in your FTP site. A default home directory, called \Ftproot, was created when you installed the FTP service.

You can change the location of the home directory to one of the following:

A directory located on this computer.

A directory located on another computer (a network share). When prompted, type the user name and password needed to access that computer. To change the user name and password, click Connect As.

For procedural information, see Changing the Home Directory.

To turn off logging, select the FTP site, open its property sheets, click the FTP Site tab, and then clear the Enable Logging check box.

Directory Listing Style

Changes the directory listing style to send to FTP users for the MS-DOS directory format. The MS-DOS directory listing style displays year dates in a two-digit format by default. You can change this setting to display year dates in a four-digit format by enabling the FtpDirBrowseShowLongDate metabase property.

The UNIX directory listing style displays year dates in a four-digit format when the date of the file is different from the year of the FTP server. No year date is returned in cases where the file date is the same as the year date of the FTP server.

Basic Authentication Warning

In addition to the "anonymous logon" user name and password fields, the Security Accounts property sheet contains the following authentication options:

Allow Anonymous Connections

When this check box is selected, FTP logons in which the user enters a user name of "anonymous" will be processed. These anonymous connections will be processed on behalf of the Windows user account specified on the Security Accounts property sheet.

When this check box is cleared, users will be required to enter valid Windows user names and passwords to log on to the FTP service.

Allow only anonymous connections

When this check box is selected, all user logons except "anonymous" will be rejected.

Important   FTP user names and passwords are sent across the network in clear text. When this check box is cleared, Windows passwords will be sent to the server without encryption. This check box is checked by default for security reasons.

For more information, see About Authentication.
