Install FTP after initial installation

I have installed IIS with WWW on a W2k3 R2 server using an answer file so I
could set which components were installed and where the inetpub folder was
placed. We now require FTP installed. If I create an answer file do I
include the original settings and add iis_ftp and PathFtpRoot, or do I 'only'
include the iis_ftp and PathFtpRoot. I don't want any of the current WWW
data over-written.

Thanks in advance.

Pete.

Apoligies for cross-post of this in IIS FTP

Re: Install FTP after initial installation

(Keep in mind, I don't know what an answer file is.)

I would just go into add/remove programs, in there is a section concerning
Windows components. In the IIS tree, check the FTP portion of IIS. Let it
install, then reboot. (Reboot is probably not required, but I would do it
anyway.)

That will add the FTP services in default configuration, from there, you can
add FTP server instances as needed.

All of that will happen without touching anything in the existing HTTP,
SMTP, etc. portion of IIS.

Re: Install FTP after initial installation

Thanks for the response.

An answer file

will allow you to change where the wwwroot and ftproot folders are placed,
and which components are installed. As far as I know they are, by default,
installed to the OS partition.
