How to create FTP sites
Note: Proceding presumes the prior creation of a Web Site, see above.
Start the Internet Information Services Manager (from Start>Administrative Tools>MS Internet Information Server>Internet Information Manager).
Now select computer node where new FTP site will be created, eg., \\skySpec1.
Select FTP Galaxy as the virtual root directory (FTP Galaxy, currently the only one available, etc.).
Now, from the Internet Information Manager panel, click on the <Actions> drop-down box, selecting New>Virtual Directory.
Enter the alias name field, eg., "NewSiteName" and click <Next>.
Now enter the physical path, eg., "F:\NewSiteFolder" as is presumed to have been done above. And click <Finish>.
Now, from the Start bar click Programs>Admin Tools>User Manager for Domains>New User and enter "User Name" and "Full Name" (use same as User Name) text fields, as well as "Password" and "Confirm Password" text fields queried. You may want to select a password option or use the default, "User must change password on first logon".
Open a NT Explorer window and right click on the "NewFTPsite" folder just created and select <Properties>.
In the Properties panel select the <Security> tab and click on the <Permissions> button.
In the Directory Permissions panel remove "EVERYONE" and add "Administrators", the "NewUser" and "IUSR" (Internet User).
It is now time to test FTP access:
Run WS_FTP Pro and click the <Connect> button.
In the Connect panel select the new FTP site, click <Advanced Profiles> button.
In new panel select <StartUp> tab (middle one), then in <Remote Site> text box enter "/NewSiteFolderName" (make sure to use a forward slash).
Note: If ftp user can't get in, check in User Manager to see if Account Locked Out is checked. Set initial remote folder in Advanced (then Save). NB: Use www.directory, not ftp.directory.
