We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SUMMARY

When you install the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Server from the Windows NT Option Pack (NTOP) in order to add fail-over enabled FTP Sites on a Microsoft Cluster Server Resource Group, you must also install the World Wide Web Server from the NTOP.

MORE INFORMATION

The files used by the Microsoft Cluster Administrator tool to create IIS Server Instances are only installed during the World Wide Web Server installation piece of the NTOP. If you choose to only install the FTP Server on the Microsoft Cluster Server, then the IIS clustering files will not get installed on the Cluster Server.

If you want to create IIS Server instances of the FTP Sites on the Microsoft Cluster Server, but you have only installed the FTP Server on the Microsoft Cluster Server, you can run the NTOP Setup again and choose Add/Remove programs. Choose to install the World Wide Web Server.

For the proper installation instructions for NTOP on Microsoft Cluster Server 1.0, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

191138 How to Install Windows NT Option Pack on Cluster Server

After the World Wide Web Server is installed on the Cluster Server computer, you can create IIS Server instances for your FTP Sites.

If you want to disable your World Wide Web Server, go to Control Panel Services and set the startup type of the World Wide Web Publishing Service to Disabled.
