Chapter 3 Configuring the Media Server As an FTP Server
38
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 2000 Server manual to install
the FTP server software.
Configuring the FTP Server Software
Use the following procedure to correctly configure the IIS on the Media
Server you are installing.
To configure the IIS for FTP:
1. Start the IIS management interface and create a virtual FTP root called
Trilligent or MediaNetwork in the default FTP site.
2. Map the virtual root to one of the following:
t The workspace you defined earlier as the Unicast Publishing Point
for the Windows Media Services software
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.
(Write permission allows the user to upload files from remote
systems.)
4. In the FTP properties, deselect the “Anonymous access only” option 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 these accounts have the “user can
login locally” permission.
6. Assign each FTP user a separate directory on the Media Server. Create
a virtual root for each user, using the same name as the Windows 2000
account you created for the user’s FTP login.
