IIS and webserver question
Hi all,
I'm running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. Basically, what I'm trying to do is use IIS to create a FTP site that others, namely a few friends, can access from their homes and download/upload files. Would I need to create accounts for them in AD and then have them access via a VPN or what? Thanks in advance! Happy Holidays to all.

Re: IIS and webserver question
How about a Secure Shell (SSH) server running on the W2003 server box and
let the users access with WinSCP (a free SFTP client). The SSH tunnel is encrypted, safe and secure. Create a special "RemoteFtpUser" account with a private/public key pair, give that information to your friends (and only to them) and they can transfer files to/from a commonly accessible folder on your server box. You could also create individual accounts if desired...

Re: IIS and webserver question
Thanks for the post Sooner,
What I'm trying to do doesn't require that strict of a security setup. Just some mp3's and such. Would what I described work? You know, the VPN and the user accounts? PS. LOL Kenny :-)Make it so!

Re: IIS and webserver question
Sure... I would post to the...
microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory microsoft.public.windows.server.general ...or the... microsoft.public.windows.server.networking ....news group for additional help however since this is really a Windows 2003 Server issue. You know that you can use SSH with a password for authentication versus a private/public key. I would, however, use a strong password...
