FTP with Windows 2003

[Guest RSteph]

I'm still fairly new as it comes to working with windows server. Is there a

built in FTP system within Windows server, or do I need to download an FTP

program?

 

We have a server hosting our website. We are looking to add some shopping

cart software for our site. The company we are going through actually ftp's

the software onto our server, then we have to give them a login and they

setup the software for us, so that we can start adding items.

 

It's been a while since I've used ftp for much of anything though, and I've

always just used a downloaded ftp program. I've never tried ftp'ing into my

windows server.

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

You will find the FTP server using Add/Remove components. I forget the

actual path, but it is included in the Applicaiton Server (IIS) components.

There's a great little article here...

You can google for it using the keywords "Windows Server FTP"...

There's an ftp service in the IIS component. You may need to add the service

in Add/Remove Programs.

As it is not secure (plain text password) and being used to upload rather

you should make sure to disable it when not needed.

Although, why don't you or they just download from _their_ftp site? You

don't need an FTP service to _download_ stuff, only to upload.
