Is it possible to setup an ftp site using ONLY the IIS manager on Windows 7 Home Premium? I setup an ftp server on my sister's mac and it took about 5 minutes or less (no third party software to download whatsoever) . I was curious to see if it would be just as easy to set up an ftp site on a pc (without downloading any third party software). I went ahead and tried to publish an ftp site through the IIS manager. I allowed all rules regarding ftp in windows firewall. I set the bindings to my ip address and left the port at 21. I have tried anonymous authentication and set read/write privileges. I have made sure that the ftp site was started.... I cannot access this ftp site, even from within my home network. What gives?

Hi, Thanks for the post! You can setup an FTP site using the IIS manager on your Windows 7 Home Premium computer, pleare refer to this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/9aee3565-f1b4-459e-a8a2-d8b94a492e32 Regards, MiyaThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. | Please 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.

Does your client computer have a firewall on? Are you connecting to the server via active or passive mode? Disable firewalls on both sides then test to ensure your server/client are working properly.Matt W. CCNP, CCDA, CCNA-S, RHCT, MCSE, MCSA, MCP+I, A+
