Subject : Computer Networks and Security
Assignment No. 10

Problem Statement : Introduction to server administration and configuration of Web Server and FTP
server.
Step 1 : Assign a static IP address:

A static IP address ensures that the server maintains a fixed network identity, preventing changes that
could disrupt access. This is configured in the network settings of the operating system or router to provide
consistent connectivity for hosting web and FTP services.

Step 2 : Turn on FTP Server on windows:


 Enable the built-in FTP server in Windows by installing the IIS (Internet Information Services) FTP
feature. This allows file transfer services over the network. Configuration includes setting up FTP user
authentication, defining access permissions, and ensuring firewall rules allow FTP connections
Step 3 : Configure FTP Server :

 After enabling the FTP server, configure its settings, including:


1) Creating FTP Sites: Define the root directory for file storage.
2) User Authentication: Set up user accounts with access permissions.
3) Firewall and Port Settings: Allow FTP traffic (default port 21) through Windows Firewall.
4) Security Configuration: Enable SSL/TLS for secure file transfers.
This ensures a secure and accessible FTP server for file management.

Step 4 : Create an FTP User :




1) Set up a dedicated FTP user account to control access to the server. This involves:
2) Creating a new user in Windows (via Computer Management).
3)Assigning directory permissions to restrict or allow access.
4)Configuring authentication settings to enable login via FTP clients.
This ensures secure and controlled file transfers.
Step 5 : Configure Windows Firewall:

 Modify Windows Firewall settings to allow FTP traffic:


1) Add an Inbound Rule: Permit connections on port 21 (FTP) and ports 990, 5000-5500 (for passive mode).
2) Allow FTP Server through Firewall: Ensure IIS FTP service is not blocked.
3) Enable Secure FTP (FTPS/SFTP): Restrict access to trusted users only.
This step ensures smooth and secure FTP communication.
Step 6 : Connect to FTP Server :

1) Use an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla, Windows Explorer, or Command Prompt) to establish a connection:
2) Enter FTP Server Address: Use the static IP or hostname.
3) Provide Login Credentials: Enter the FTP username and password.
4) Choose Transfer Mode: Select Active or Passive mode based on firewall settings.
Successful connection allows file uploads, downloads, and remote management.
