FTP Service

[dtrepoff1]

I ran a script that locks down IIS from ntadvice.com. I need to add back the ftp service in the registry. How do I do that?

I had a look at that script and the easiest way to do it would be to take the FTP removal sections out of the script before running it rather than try to re-add the FTP server afterwards.

You can do this by editing the file and removing the section under the comment "Remove FTP Service and Metabase Entries", then remove the section under "'Remove FTP Service Registry Keys" and finally remove the command "if fso.FolderExist(vFTPRootPath) then fso.DeleteFolder vFTPRootPath, true".

I tried to add the the ftp services again by adding it in the option pack. I had to do this around 5 times. For some reason it didn't want to take. The problem now is that the directories are listed in IIS but you can't see them on the window on the right. When someone logins in I get 503 error home directory does not exits. Yes, the user has logon rights...

That script also deleted the physical FTP home directory so it could be the the reinstall didn't recreate it. Try making that directory again, and make sure that you give the user file access permissions on the directory.
