The client needs to allow incoming connections on whatever port it's requested the connection back on.You need to allow outbound traffic on any port from this system to wherever the client is (generally in a decently secure environment this is awful).After this connection is established, the client can provide the server with an IP address and port number to connect back to the client on. With "active mode" FTP, the FTP client initiates a connection to the server on TCP port 21, therefor you need to allow incoming traffic on TCP/21. Ideally, your secure FTP client connects and you are able to upload files! Watch Chris’ video when you get a moment and enjoy this new capability.The issue here is that FTP is a flawed protocol in today's world of opening specific ports for specific purposes. I used FileZilla and once installed, I created a new site manager configuration using the settings below: Chris used FileZilla in his video, but I’ve also read that SmartFTP will work also. You will need to download your own Secure FTP client however.
On the Authentication and Authorization Information window, select Basic as the Authentication method and then under Authorization, specify the group(s) which will have access to the site, and their permissions.Īt this point, two netsh commands need to be executed to open the firewall. On the Binding and SSL Settings window, if necessary, specify an IP Address and Virtual Host and then select an SSL Certificate. Within the IIS Manager window, expand the IIS server and right-click Sites. Open Server Manager and expand Roles | Web Server (IIS). In the video, Chris created a Self-Signed Certificate using IIS Manager to demonstrate the Secure FTP capabilities. The installation is pretty easy, more or less a click Next/Next/Next/Finish kind of install.Īt this point, we need a SSL Certificate. Windows Server 2008 – FTP 7.0 Secure FTP – 64bitīefore installing, you need to make sure FTP services have not been previously installed using Server Manager as shown below: Windows Server 2008 – FTP 7.0 Secure FTP – 32bit In fact, there is no built-in secure FTP services in Windows Server 2008, but it can be downloaded from the following locations: Basically, Microsoft got lots of complaints about the fact that no “built-in” secure FTP services had been included into previous versions of Windows Server. I thought it was pretty interesting so I’ll try on summarize in this post. A coworker came across this 12 minute video today concerning Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7 Secure FTP services.
