Hi I have a win7 Ultimate machine in my home network and several other laptops and desktops mostly win 7. One is running iis7, PHP, and FTP servers n it. What i really want is to set up that iis7 machine to behave the same as my ISP web sites. In other words I want to Publish to it via FTP, and then run my website on it (for testing). I started out by following some microsoft documents and quickly got lost. All the article i read seem to assume that i will access the iis server from the server as localhost. I want to access the server from within my home network from machine to machine. I got the server to work as iis 7. But the ftp server part is all messed up. I just want to ftp into the same folder as the root of my website. If i turn off the firewall on the iis server machine, i can access it, but cannot successfully log in. So What are my firewall settings? i checked off the FTP server allow box in windows firewall. (the only firewall running) How do i add an ftp login, and how do i point that ftp client to a specific folder? This is becomming a major struggle. I have spent a couple of days on it. Thanks Jerry C

Hi Jerry, From your description, I notice the issue is related to IIS server. I suggest posting a new thread to IIS forum to ensure the issue can be addressed in the most efficient way. http://forums.iis.net/ In addition, based on my research, to configure the Anonymous authentication identity, you can refer to the following steps: 1. Open IIS Manager. 2. In Features View, double-click FTP Authentication. 3. On the FTP Authentication page, select Anonymous Authentication. 4. In the Actions pane, click Edit. 5. In the Edit Anonymous Authentication Credentials dialog box, enter a user name and password in the User name and Password boxes. Enter the password again in the Confirm Password box, then click OK. For more information about FTP configuration, I will share the following articles for you. Hope it helps. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd463981(WS.10).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464009(WS.10).aspx Best Regards, NikiPlease remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
