This chapter provides an introduction of FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Topics include setting up FTP server; FTP command line client program; downloading files; checking the log file; uploading files.
Windows provides FTP server service through IIS (Internet Information Services), which is relatively easy
to manage.
Windows also provides a command line client FTP program. If you are interested in client programs with
graphical user interface, there are a number of shareware available on the Interface.
You should be careful about running your FTP server with anonymous option turned on. Anonymous option allows
anyone on the Internet to come to your server and take files away from FTP directory.
