It depends on the edition.

FTP service is available in Vista Ultimate edition (and also, I think,
Business and Enterprise editions). Go to Control Panel, Programs and
Features, Turn features on or off, Internet Information Services. You'll
find the ftp options there.

Vista Home Edition does not appear to have any FTP service (although it does
have some web server abilities).

Hope it helps,

Hi,

Sure, if you have IIS. It comes in Business and Ultimate, but not Home
Premium or Basic. It will be listed under the Control Panel/Programs and
Features/Windows Features.

Don't use Windows for a FTP server, download and install FileZilla
server, it's free, works real well, secure, doesn't use windows
accounts, and it's stable and you can point it to any folder based on
user/group that logs into it.

Tiberius, you have to be more careful before you say that Andrew is
incorrect on anything. I know that IIS can be installed on Home Premium,
but it has no NTFS authentification, so how would the crappy IIS FTP server
work, as it relies on normal user accounts for the FTP accounts? (This is
the main reason why I think the IIS FTP server is so rubbish)

Look at this page. I have not got Home Premium, and I have not bothered to
look at IIS 7.0 at all, as I only use IIS on my server, which has Windows
Server 2003 installed.

It says that FTP is not available on Home Premium, which would make sense to
me.

Thanks, Synapse! I didn't see that response from Tiberius; I added him to my
plonk list, long ago.

However, to address his objection ... I said:

"Vista Home Edition does not appear to have any FTP service
(although it does have some web server abilities)".

I believe I was totally correct, there.

Vista Home Premium does include a web server: IIS. This edition provides a
*subset* of IIS features, compared to what you get on Business and Ultimate
editions. For a start, on Vista Home Premium IIS is limited to 3
simultaneous execution requests; compared to 10 on Business & Ultimate; and
unlimited, on the Server version of IIS.

Also, IIS on Home Premium does not support Windows Aauthentication; Digest
authentication; Client certificate mapping authentication; or URL
authorisation. It does not support loging to ODBC sources. Most important
of all, in light of the original poster's question: IIS on Home Premium does
not include any ftp facilities whatever.

So ... I stand by my claim: Vista Home Edition does not have any FTP
service. It does have some web server abilities. It does not have the full
set of web server abilities, as found in IIS on more "serious" editions of
Vista.

I don't see any reason to take Tiberius out of the killfile, based on this
exchange. His posts still seem to be mainly low-value noise.

I do not know.. I dont have home premium. Im just telling you what the pages
say, with the people that have tried it.. The page I gave in the links say
exactly that home premium DOES have all aspects of IIS as long as you use
the special code provided on that page to install it..

I am copy pasting:>>>>


Not so.

IIS 7.0 can be installed, complete, on Home Premium.

Use this script to install every last bit which IIS 7.0 offers :

start /w pkgmgr
/iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-HttpRedirect;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-URLAuthorization;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-IPSecurity;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI
