Device Management Agents on the thin clients, can connect to for read and write access using basic

authentication. Before creating this site, ensure that you create a user account from which the FTP service can

authenticate. The example provided here uses a local user account with the username of “hpdmadm”. Use the

following steps to create the FTP site:

1. Click on the Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

2. In the Connections pane on the left side of the IIS 7 Manager, expand the root server node, and then click

to select the Sites node in the tree.

3. In the Actions pane on the right side, click Add FTP Site…, or right-click the Sites node in the Connections

pane and select Add FTP Site… from the pop-up context menu. This will launch the Add FTP Site wizard.
