Configure FTP Site Defaults to Use Changed Values in New FTP Sites

Introduction

In this article you will learn how to configure FTP Site Defaults.

Through this article you we will configure the defaults of a FTP Site that can be used in a new FTP Site.

Step 1

First of all open your Administrative Tools from the Start Menu.

Now your Administrator Tools will be opened, among these tools you will find an option named IIS Manager, double-click on this option to open it.

Step 2

On the left hand side you will see a pane named Connection pane, in this Connection pane your server name will be provided; single-click on this Server Name to expand it.

Now under the Server Name, the Sites will be available; click on this.

Step 3

Now go to the Action Pane, in the Action Pane an option will be available named Set FTP Site Defaults, click on this option.

Now the FTP Site Default page will be opened, here by default General Configuration will be expanded, you can configure the FTP Site to open automatically by setting it's value to True.

Step 4

Now we will proceed to the Behavior section and in behavior, first expand the Connections. In the connections many options will be available like:

1. Control Channel Timeout
2. Data Channel Timeout
3. Disable Socket Pooling
4. Max Connections
5. Reset On Max Connections
6. Server Listen Backlog
7. Unauthenticated Timeout

You can configure any of these by changing it's default value.

Now after making changes in the connections, expand the Credential Caching.

Cached Credentials are used when using Domain Credentials for authentication to a computer that is not connected to a Domain Controller. Each time a domain user logs on, the operating system generates the cached credentials and stores them in the Security hive of the Operating System.

In Cached Credentials you can configure it's availability to either True or False and can provide the Flush Time.

Step 5

At the end expand the File Handling.

In the File Handling you can authenticate the users to make changes in the files by Replacing, Renaming or Reading etcetera.

After making the changes click on the Ok Button to apply the changes.
