FTP not installed on IIS5 - how to install without reconfig of IIS 1

[ahaws]

Hello.
I am trying to set up an FTP site, but when I go to the IIS Manager and right click my site, new FTP, it gives..
"This service is not installed on this machine".
How do I install?
If any suggestions, all is appreciated.
Thanks
Angie

Open the IIS console and right click on your server name, then New-->FTP site.
IS that what you did ? A+, MCP, CCNA

Hi koquito-
yes that is what I did. It came back and said that it wasnt installed on this machine.
I thought FTP was auto installed?

Go to add/remove programs in the control panel, choose add/remove windows components, choose Internet Information Services (IIS) and choose the details button. Then select FTP server. I am assuming this is Windows 2000, let me know if it is not.

Does it give you any kind of error message or just does not install? Also does it generate any errors in event viewer.
