All those FTP customers don't have Windows user names at all. This program works better than FTP ever has on any version of Windows. Being an IIS forum this comment may get deleted. I don't know. I do know that I tried my best to solve this solution with Windows and after investing much time and effort I learned there was a better way.
I've been using it since and am very happy with it. Each time I use it I think about my efforts to get IIS to do the same thing and remember the frustration. I do not own it, have no involvement with it other than mentioned above. I'm just a very happy user.
Thanks, cdsJerry - rest assured, your comments won't be deleted; hearing problems from customers is part of the reason for why these forums exist. In any case, that is why I posted the instructions for setting up authentication for IIS Managers earlier in this thread - I prefer not to hand out Windows user accounts if I don't need to.
You are correct, however, that the FTP service does not set physical ACLs when you add users to the authorization settings; IIS has never set physical ACLs on the file system when you make changes to authorization settings, and there is a long list of reasons why this is the case. Thanks again for the feedback. I struggled for so long to create the folders with restricted permissions like that. I'd done it before with no problem but nothing I tried would make it work in Windows I read and posted threads about there here as well as other boards and was never able to make it work.
I'm glad you could as it's something of a no-brainer in terms of need. It was just so easy and I'd worked so hard and been unable to in iis. Thanks for all you do here btw. I only own a couple of servers.
I really appreciate the help I've been able to get here. It's an excellent source of good information. The content you requested has been removed. Ask a question. Quick access.

There are many secure file transfer systems available on the market. When choosing one for your business, you need to check the following factors:. The precise steps you go through to set up FTPS server utilities depend greatly on the interface of the specific tool that you opt for.
You might want to use task automation features and some FTPS servers include a drag-and-drop workflow editor that makes it very easy to set automation up. However, the method you go through to create such systems is going to be very different depending on which tool you use. This is out of scope for this article. When you start up your file server software for the first time, all of the screens in the interface will have blank panels in them.
This is where records of transfers will appear but nothing can be achieved until you define which protocol the system will use. These file transfer servers are often referred to as FTP servers. The File Transfer Protocol FTP is used to dominate file transfer activities and the option of that protocol is included in every file transfer server. However, if you are specifically going to use FTPS, you would have chosen a system that also can use that protocol and possibly a few others.
In this article, we are going to look at how to set up FTPS server domains and user account. These are the two fundamental tasks you will have to go through no matter which tool you opt for or how you ultimately want to use it. This is the address that you will set up in your FTP clients as a destination for your files.
In most FTP servers, it is possible to set up several domains. This enables you to implement different policies for different user groups. The domain acts as a domain controller in Active Directory. In the image below, you can see the Serv-U dashboard in action.
This example has one domain defined — it is called domain1. With these steps, the FTP server will be ready to receive file transfer connections from clients. However, under a secure transfer system, users need to be identifiable and have a secure password to gain access.
However, under FTPS, such an account would negate all of the security systems built into the server. The definition and control of user accounts are closely tied to the creation of groups. As an ongoing administration task, you will have a limited number of groups set up and whenever you create new accounts, you will add the user to a group. In the beginning, it is difficult to work out whether to create user accounts or groups first. Create at least one user first and then one group.
To see the user account creation process, we will look at Files. To create user accounts in Files. Complex passwords provide a higher level of security. We also recommend changing your password at least once per year, or more frequently for added protection. C : Confirm password : type your password again D : Home folder : click into this box, you will see a drop down menu pop out.
In IIS Manager, right-click on your server name, and enter the following port range:. Click Next.. Note that to run these commands, you must run the command line as Administrator : then simply paste the commands below according to your needs: For example: Here are the commands to run and explanation of each: To configure Windows Firewall to allow non-secure FTP traffic, use the following steps: Open a command prompt: click Start , then All Programs , then Accessories , then Command Prompt. In addition, the FTP client machine would need to have its own firewall exceptions setup for inbound traffic.
Some 3rd-party firewall filters recognize the beginning of SSL negotiation, e. Was this article helpful?
