Cool, downloading files are easy. The "mget" command allows you to get multiple files with one command.

Checking the Log File

If you look the settings, you will find out that the log file is located in C:\WINDOWS\System32\LogFiles\MSFTPSVC1 directory. Open the last log file, exnnnnnn.log, you should see something like:

#Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.1
#Version: 1.0
#Date:  03:55:34
#Fields: time c-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem sc-status 
03:55:34 127.0.0.1 [1]USER anonymous 331
03:55:42 127.0.0.1 [1]PASS me@herongyang.com 230
03:55:49 127.0.0.1 [1]QUIT - 226
04:07:57 127.0.0.1 [2]sent /ftp.html 226
04:07:57 127.0.0.1 [2]sent /index.html 226
04:07:58 127.0.0.1 [2]sent /reference.html 226
03:55:49 127.0.0.1 [1]QUIT - 226

Interesting, it did not record the "dir" command.

Uploading Files

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.
