getting started FTP

[cramd2]

Op System - Windows 2003 Server - Standard

I'm trying to test an FTP program, connecting from my pc to a Windows 2003 Server. The error I get is "ftp: connect: Unknown error number". This is the first time that I am trying to connect to this new server. I'm not famaliar enough with Windows 2003 Servers, I work more with IBM Servers. This Windows Server does not have IIS installed, without that option is it even possible to connect with FTP. Is there a service that needs to be running and isn't?? Although, while looking at the services on this pc, I don't see anything that looks related to a FTP Service. Any links or suggestions in getting started with FTP on this machine would be helpful.

Yes you do need the IIS service. You can choose to only install the FTP service and it's supporting components.

Thanks Andy, I'll take your advice and install the FTP services.
