Ftp pointing to default web site.

[Empeethree]

Hello,
I am wondering how I would go about making

Http://ftp.domain.com

point to Ftp://ftp.domain.com. Currently if someone goes to Ftp:// they get the Ftp site, but if they put in

Http://ftp.domain.com

they get my default (intranet) site. I am currently using NT authorization , so the user can log onto the default website (I need to block this from happening). Box stats: Win NT 4.0 sp6a / IIS 4.0

Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi!

You can change this from the properties of the default ftp site (you can go on properties from the MMC->right click the default ftp site and click on properties)go on the home directory tab and define the folder where you wnats the ftp folder.close the anonymous access to the directory (for security)

Thanks Itguru for the reply,
The FTP site works fine as long as the user puts FTP:\\Ftp.domain.com, the problem is if they put in Http:\\Ftp.domain.com they go to the default web site not the ftp site. The only reason this is an issue is I have a person in california that can't for the life of him get this right (even after I send a link , send step by step pictures, ect.) And with myself being in Indiana, makes it a little rough ;-). So what I tried to do was set up another website to handle

Http://ftp.domain.com

and redirect it to the Ftp://ftp.domain.com. I couldnt get this to work, so I had to use permissions to make sure the account this person logs into can't access the folder of the default website.


thanks again in advance
Rob

First step is you have to make sure that your main DNS server (most likely ISP) has an entry pointing ftp.domain.com to your ip adress. The stardard configuration of IIS 5.0 will automatically steer that address to ftp://domain.com.
