Coco Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Sure.1. Open control panel.2. Open add remove programs.3. Select the Add/Remove Windows Component tab on the side.4. Scroll down till you see IIS (it's the 5th options) and tick the box. If you want to install ftp support and a few other things then click details and select them.5. Now press next and it will begin installing.It's as easy as that. IIS is only on that list in the pro version and you wll require the windows CD to install it.Once it's installed you can manage it by right clicking my computer and select manage. It will be under services and applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Actually, it can be installed on XP home, but it's quite a workaround, and it's not very recommended either... I use IIS a lot, but as far as FTP goes, there's far better than IIS for that. Also note that XP ships with IIS 5.1, which has some serious limitations, first being limited to only one virtual site, the second being 10 simultaneous connections (not users). The first one is easily bypassed by using another iisadmin (3rd party or the one from 2k server), the second limitation can be increased up to 39 simultaneous conns by editing the metabase with metaedit (by microsoft, free). Together, it makes for a more tolerable testing/devel machine... My unattended installs install both install another iisadmin and metaedit 2.2, comes in handy.

CoffeeFiend Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 If it's solelt for FTP purposes, then I'd really consider something else than IIS instead. IIS is very good - except for FTP imho. I'd just install a good ftp server instead, create your accounts and setup port forwarding to it and you're done... Personally, I use IIS for web pages only and G6 ftp server for FTP access.
