This section provides a tutorial example on how to upload files to a FTP server.
Allowing other users to upload files to your FTP server needs some extra security settings.
So let's re-visit the IIS FTP Server settings:
1. Run IIS, and open the Default FTP Site properties dialog box.
2. Visit the Security Accounts and Home Directory tabs, and making the following changes:
Allow Anonymous Connections: unchecked - To stop other users accessing your FTP server anonymously.
The server can only be accessed now by admin users registered on your machine.
FTP Site Directory Write: checked - To allow other users to upload files.
To upload files, run the FTP client in a command window:
>ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
220 Microsoft FTP Service

331 Password required for herong.

230 User herong logged in.
