IIS help with Win2k Pro.. access related

Senior member
I am trying to setup a simple web and ftp server using IIS on Win2k pro.

For the website, I was it to be like any other website - anyone can access it. When I got to my IP address, it asks for a username, password, and domain. How do I tell it to allow anyone and not prompt for that?

On the FTP server, I would like to be able to setup user accounts via Computer Managment. I just created and account and the group is user. When I tried to FTP to my IP, I put in my new account intended for FTP users, but it would not let me log on. The only account I could get it to work wtih is the administrator account.

I know this is probably simple, but I am fairly new to setting this stuff up. I set up the properties in what seems like a logical manner, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help is appreciated!

In IIS snap-in, click once on the server you want to configure, then properties. Under directory security, you should be able to enable anonymous access which would allow anyone on the net to connect to your server on port 80 under the login IUSER_YOURSERVERCOMPUTERNAME.

With the FTP stuff, I never had much luck getting it running on my server, so I used another server. I use Serv-U with much success.
Good Luck.

Either this or you have NTFS permissions setup on the folder that contains your site, make sure that the group "everyone" has read access to the contents of your site

This is probably also the problem with your FTP server, remember permissions are specified in 2 places, in the IIS snap in, and for the NTFS permissions. If one of them doesnt give you access than you dont have access at all.
