If you have correctly followed the previous Oracle Virtual Box<\/a> articles, a working guest image of Windows 2008 Server<\/a> now exists with the IIS 7.0<\/a> Web server role installed. <\/p>\n

Today, we are going to concentrate on configuring the FTP server. A local windows user account will have a home directory containing the test data file for the Perl program.<\/p>\n

The series of screen shots below will walk you through configuring the FTP Server installed on the guest image.<\/p>\n

Step 1 – IIS 7.0 Manager does not manager FTP settings. Version 7.5 fixes this issue. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2 – Create new FTP Site using IIS 6.0 Manager.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3 – Choose FTP Site name.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 4 – Select the IP address and port.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 5 – Use Isolate Users security.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 6 – Select the default home directory.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 7 – Allow users read\/write access.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 8 – Set 10 user connections under site properties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 9 – Uncheck anonymous connections under site properties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 10 – Set welcome banner message under site properties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 11 – Double check home directory settings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 12 – Create a local windows test account.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 13 – Create user directory with readme.txt test file.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 14 – Use windows FTP utility to perform test download.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In short, the FTP Server that comes with Windows Server 2008 is not as mature as the 7.5 release. The default user directory is always located under the [Home Directory] \\ [Local User Directory] \\ [User Account Directory]. Since there is no active directory domain for our test server, only anonymous or local user isolation are available as security choices. The later choice is more secure.<\/p>\n

Regardless of all these limitations, we now have a working FTP<\/a> server. Next time, we are going to start creating routines for our PERL based ETL solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
