Re: FTP on IIS

I'm preparing to build a new FTP server using IIS (or an IIS server using
FTP??? I'm not sure). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could recommend
some good sources on how to lock it down. I need to configure it for an
FTP site that anyone can get to and one that is password protected. Thanks
in advance!

If there isn't a hard reason to go with IIS, I'd suggest to use a daemon that
does just ftp, e.g. proftpd or whatever. As this is way less code, it has
less possible security problems. Will save you hours of configuration /
updates, too.

Alex
