| On any W2K server running IIS you can create and FTP. I won't bore you with the details, but start the wizard in Internet Services Manager by RC the server you want the FTP on and selecting New>FTP site.
Remember the default port is 21. I often change that port to something unused in the TCP port ranges just to add one more level of anoyance for anyone hacking in.
Another thing to remember is home directory. The wizard will ask you to specify a home directory. Goes without saying you don't set the root or sysdir as the home. Better still, put it on different partition than the system files.
Security? Remember rules for anonomous access. Typically you'll set the IUSR account for this. Also remember you can grant or deny access to an FTP site based on IP or DNS rules. Kind of handy to set an FTP on a server, then restrict access allowing only one subnet or a group of subnets on the LAN. | |

| Also remember, as far as the security aspect, IIS is tightly integrated with NTFS. So use that to secure your files. | |

That is true to a degree. You can't go wrong by specifying tight NTFS permissions to an FTP home directory. But, keep in mind that access control to an FTP site is done in IIS. It is possible for a user to have DENY read, write and execute, but still be able to access the file through an FTP site, if the site allows anonymous access. To do so, you'd have to set the appropriate level of restrictions on the security accounts tab and specify rules on the directory security tab.
Often times it is easier to restrict FTP and Web sites by way of TCP/IP filters or rules than by traditional W2K NTFS permissions. |
