Configuring the Media Server as an FTP Server
Installing the FTP Server Software
To install the IIS for FTP:
1. Locate the Windows 2000 Server CD-ROM and manual that came
in your Media Server kit.
2. Insert the CD-ROM into the Media Server CD-ROM drive.
3. Follow the instructions in the Windows Server 2000 manual to
install the FTP server.
Configuring the FTP Server Software
To configure IIS for FTP:
1. Running the IIS management interface and create a virtual FTP
root called Trilligent or MediaNet in the default FTP site.
2. Map this virtual root to one of the following:
t The workspace you defined earlier as the Unicast Publishing
Point for Windows Media Services
t The workspace you defined earlier as the Mount Point for the
Real Server software
3. Assign the Read, Write, and Execute permissions to the FTP root
(make sure you assign Write permission so files can be uploaded
by users from remote systems).
4. In the FTP properties, make sure you clear “Anonymous access
only” in the properties of the default FTP site.
5. Start the Windows 2000 User Manager and create the necessary
user accounts for FTP login. Make sure that these accounts have
the “user can login locally” permission.
6. Give each FTP user a separate directory on the Media Server.
Create a virtual root for each user, with the same name as the
Windows 2000 accounts you create for their FTP login.
