Hi, I am new to IIS, and, am wondering how to set it up.
So, I have "installed"/"added" IIS in "Programs and features", and, have, now, via "Control Panel"->"Administrative Tools"->"Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" opened the IIS manager.
What i would wish to do, now, is:
Set up an FTP-Server, that will be used for push data feeds, in the form, of, xml-files.
This server needs to be accessible at all times (or, at least, while my machine is running, and, there is internet connection), and, needs to be accessible to the data provider via a static ip, or a host name.
So, since i have no "static" ip, I have signed up for a free DNS (www.noip.com), downloaded the no-ip "Dynamic Update Client" (basically, just a client, that, after logging in, polls my account at www.noip.com , in order to update the DNS entry to my current, non-static ip), and, at noip.com, registered a test-domain/test-host "hansaaa.no-ip.biz".
So, now, if I have noip "Dynamic Update Client" running, "hansaaa.no-ip.biz" should forward to my current web-ip address (i.e. router/nat).
So, now, the question is: What steps, do I need to take, in order to set up, using IIS, a ftp-server, that can, then, be accessed by the data provider, remotely, using the host name ("hansaaa.no-ip.biz"), a user name, and a password.
I need to give this user read,write,delete,rename permissions, and, in addition, the server needs to satisfy these 3 requirements:
1.) The FTP server should allow passive connections.
2.) Responses of the FTP server should be “unix-like”.
3) The FTP server should allow renaming to a filename which already exists
on the server. This allows the transmission of cumulative feeds with the
same filename.
Additionally, I would assume, I need to configure my NAT/router, to "wire" the connection through to the correct pc (there is only one, behind the router) and port, correct?
Thanks for any, and ALL help!
Cheers
