IISFTP

Creates, deletes, and lists FTP sites on local and remote servers running Windows Server 2003 with Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. Also sets and gets user isolation properties, starts, stops, and pauses FTP sites.

IISFTP[.VBS] /setadprop user_id {FTPDir | FTPRoot} property_id [/s computer [/u [Domain\]User [/p password]]]

FTPDir | FTPRoot (NT2003)

Specifies isolation at either directory or root level (required to set user isolation).

ftp_site [ftp_site ...] (NT2003)

Specifies the site name or metabase path of the FTP site.

/query will display all sites, if omitted.

FTP sites must be uniquely identified. If more than one FTP site has the same descriptive name, you must use the metabase path to identify the FTP site.

path (NT2003)

Specifies the location of content files for the FTP site. Enter a path to a local directory. Any directories in the path do not exist, are created.

The Path parameter must immediately precede the site_name parameter. Otherwise, site information will not be interpreted correctly.

property_id (NT2003)

Specifies the value of the directory or root isolation (required to set user isolation).

site_name (NT2003)

Specifies a name for the FTP site.

user_id (NT2003)

Specifies the logon ID of the Active Directory user.

/? (NT2003)

Display help.

/admin [Domain\]User (NT2003)

Specifies the name of the administrator in the User, Domain\User, or User@Domain format.

/adminpwd pass_word (NT2003)

Specifies the administrator's password.

/b port (NT2003)

Specifies a TCP port number for the FTP site. The default is 21.

/create (NT2003)

Creates FTP sites on local and remote servers.

When you create a new FTP site, you specify only the basic properties needed to create the site and identify its contents. IISFTP uses the same default properties that IIS uses when establishing new FTP sites, and adheres to the same rules for inheriting properties. To configure the more advanced properties of the site, use IIS Manager.

/delete (NT2003)

Deletes FTP sites on local and remote servers.

/domain (NT2003)

Specifies the name of the Active Directory domain.

/dontstart (NT2003)

Indicates that the FTP site does not start automatically as soon as it is created. By default, IIS starts the FTP site when the /create command completes successfully.

/getadprop (NT2003)

Gets Active Directory properties for a specific user on a local or remote computer.

/i ip_address (NT2003)

Specifies an IP address for the FTP site. The default is All Unassigned, which assigns to the site all of the IP addresses on the computer that are not assigned to other sites. Only one site on each IIS server can be set to: All Unassigned.

/isolation {ActiveDirectory | Local} (NT2003)

Provides for one of two user isolation modes, ActiveDirectory and Local. If omitted, the site will not use user isolation.

/query (NT2003)

Displays the FTP sites on local and remote servers.

/p password (NT2003)

Specifies the password of the user account that is specified in /u. If omitted, you will be prompted.

/pause (NT2003)

Pauses FTP sites on local and remote servers.

/s computer (NT2003)

Runs the script on the specified remote computer. Type the computer name or IP address without backslashes. Defaults to the local computer.

/setadprop (NT2003)

Sets Active Directory properties for a specific user on a local or remote computer.

/start (NT2003)

Starts FTP sites on local and remote servers.

/stop (NT2003)

Stops FTP sites on local and remote servers.

/u [Domain\]User (NT2003)

Runs the script with the permissions of the specified user account. This account must be a member of the Administrators group on the remote computer. By default, the script runs with the permissions of the current user of the local computer.

none.

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using "Run as" to perform this procedure.

Does not verify the port number or IP address of an FTP site, and it does not verify that these bindings are unique within the server. If you create a site with invalid or conflicting bindings, the site will not start.
