Creating FTP for webserver

[cdnref]

Hello everyone,

cdnref here, I'm attemping to make a ftp server so I can place my website files and such on to use it for webhosting. Cause I am currently with 50megs.com. But I wish to get into PHP-Nuke. I know I could pay about 15-20 bucks a month for this (which wouldn't be a problem). Just that there is more satisfaction of doing it yourself. You all know the feeling of building your first comp and it starts with no problems. Put a smile on my face.
Anyways getting to the point...

I went to ftp planet to us the guide.

I changed the values but I cannot find the iis.dl_ or the iis.if_ file on my Windows 2k Pro CD.

If so can anyone specify the path to these files so I could locate them on my CD. Or should I just go out and buy Windows 200 Server.

Also if you know of an easier way, can you please help me.

I pulled this from a FTP help site...

"Copy iis.dl_ , iis.in_ and IISsuba.dl_ from \i386 directory of Win2k Pro cd to a work-directory of your hard drive "

It sounds as if they are supposed to be there. Are the name correct?

I have not tried to do any FTP on my 2k but I hope I dont encounter similar issues.

Edit... is this related to the issue you are encountering?

Yes, I am trying to do so on XP Home. I found the "hack" as was said on another site. BUt the link you provided was more in detail.

Most of the hacks posted leave out a key module: IISsuba.dll General HOWTO for setting up and running IIS in Windows XP Home Edition using Win 2000 Pro. by Randall Smith PMI – PMP, - adapted from Richard Sandoz - Certified Java Programmer 1) Locate and edit the file C:\WINDOWS\INF\SYSOC.INF 2) Find a line which should look like this (should be in section called [Components]): iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7 3) Change it to this (the iis cab/folder in the i386 xp home folder appears to be nothing): iis=iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7 à (If you try to delete this line, some sort of ms caching thing will keep sticking back “iis.dll”. Another strategy of quickly renaming and making hidden dir called iis.dll seems to thwart the caching, but the effort is not worth it, so using iis2.dll is good enough) 4) Copy iis.dl_ , iis.in_ and IISsuba.dl_ from \i386 directory of Win2k Pro cd to a work-directory of your hard drive (e.g. c:\temp\). From the Run dialog type (note the outputs for the first two modules are renamed versions): EXPAND c:\temp\IIS.DL_ c:\temp\IIS2.DLL EXPAND c:\temp\IIS.IN_ c:\temp\IIS2.INF EXPAND c:\temp\IISsuba.dl_ c:\temp\IISsuba.dll 5) Copy IIS2.DLL to c:\Windows\System32\Setup. Copy IIS2.INF to c:\Windows\INF Copy IISsuba.dll to c:\Windows\System32 6) Open the Control Panel. Select the “Add Windows Programs”. IIS and its options should now appear. If it does not, check the SYSOC.INF file and confirm the “hide” keyword was removed during the edit. 7) When you close the dialog, it will prompt you for necessary files from both the WinXP CD and the Win2000 CD. In one case, it may ask for the WinXP Pro CD, but it will accept the WinXP Home CD. 8) You can get to your Internet Services Manager (IIS control) from Control Panel's Administrative Tools. 9) Test the program by creating “hello world” from http://localhost . Also consider installing these modules into System32 in the event of problems: IIS.MS_ IISADMIN.DL_ IISCHEMA.DL_ IISCLEX4.DL_ IISCRMAP.DL_ IISEXT.DL_ IISFECNV.DL_ IISLOG.DL_ IISMAP.DL_ IISNTW.CH_ IISPERF.PM_ IISRESET.EX_ IISRSTAP.DL_ IISRSTAS.EX_ IISRTL.DL_ IISSYNC.EX_ IISUI.DL_

Thanks for the directory for those files. I'll give it a try once I get my laundry pinned up. Yes laundry day....
