Computer Engineering Network Management

Administration
Experiment No. 8

• Theory:

• In Windows Server 2012, setting up an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server and a
Web server allows for efficient file sharing and web hosting across a network. The
FTP server enables controlled access to files for clients, while the Web server hosts
websites accessible by users on a network or over the internet.

• Purpose and Functionality

• FTP Server: An FTP server facilitates secure file sharing within a network, allowing
users to upload and download files as needed. It supports secure connections with
user authentication and file encryption to ensure data security.
• Web Server (IIS): The Web server, managed by Internet Information Services (IIS),
enables hosting of websites and web applications on Windows Server. It processes
HTTP requests from browsers and serves web pages, making it a core service for
sharing information.

• FTP Server Setup

• Install FTP Server Role:


o Open Server Manager, go to Manage, select Add Roles and Features.
o In the Role installation window, select Role-based or feature-based installation
and click Next.
o Choose the server from the server pool, then select Web Server (IIS) and add
FTP Server feature.
o Confirm the installation and click Install.
• Configure FTP Site:
o Open IIS Manager and select Sites, then click Add FTP Site.
o Enter a site name and specify a directory to hold the files.
o Set IP address and port, then configure authentication and SSL options.
• User Permissions:
o Set read/write permissions for users or groups in the FTP site settings.
o Define access control to ensure authorized file access.

• Web Server (IIS) Setup

• Install Web Server Role:


o In Server Manager, go to Manage > Add Roles and Features.
o Choose Role-based or feature-based installation, select the server, then add
the Web Server (IIS) role.
o Confirm selections and click Install.
• Configure IIS Site:
o Open IIS Manager, right-click Sites, and select Add Website.

o Provide a site name and specify the physical path for the web content.
o Set IP address, port, and binding options, and click OK.
• Security Settings:
o Configure firewall rules to allow HTTP/HTTPS access.
o Set up SSL/TLS for secure data transmission if hosting a secure website.

• Need for FTP and Web Servers

• File Sharing: FTP simplifies data sharing between users across different locations,
supporting team collaboration.
• Centralized Content: FTP allows a central file repository, while a Web server
provides a single access point for web resources.
• Secure Access: With secure authentication options, FTP and Web servers prevent
unauthorized data access.
• Efficiency: Centralized servers reduce network overhead and allow easier resource
access, enhancing productivity.

• FTP Server Functionality

• File Transfer: Allows uploading and downloading files securely across a network.
• User Authentication: Ensures only authorized users access FTP resources.
• Data Encryption: Encrypts data during transfer for secure file sharing.
• Automation: Scheduled tasks and scripts can automate file transfers.

• Web Server Functionality

• Website Hosting: Hosts websites accessible to users on the network or internet.


• Request Handling: Processes HTTP/HTTPS requests and serves the requested
content.
• Security: Implements SSL/TLS to secure communications.
• Load Balancing: Distributes incoming requests for improved performance and
availability.

Conclusion:

In Windows Server 2012, DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to streamline network


management, while DNS translates domain names into IP addresses for efficient
communication. Together, they provide a secure and automated framework for network
management. Proper setup ensures reliable, scalable networks, enhancing productivity and
reducing manual intervention.
