RE: FTP on IIS

Hi,

"Shared Configuration" is a feature that lets you store the central 
applicationHost.config file in a central location (e.g. network share) for 
multiple IIS 7.0 servers to reference.

It has nothing to do with web content directories per se.

Cheers
Ken

You can use the shared web configuration stuff in IIS 7 to copy source
directories over the network. (Can't give a walkthrough at the moment as I'm
on the road and don't have any of my WS08 boxen with me [gasp! Bad geek!])

Indeed - I've been running 2008 for a while now.  There are some very
cool security mechanisms built in - but, they will no doubt trip some
people up... (like how you can't copy content to web source directories
over the network, or how you can't directly edit web content in those
directories).

Native FTPS in 2008 IIS is quite nice, actually.  But, IIS6 is still a
fine option - it is and has been secure OOB for a while - nothing like
IIS5 at all -- seems like people get stuck in the very distant past when
questions like this come up and everyone says "NEVER RUN IIS!!" - it's
quite silly, actually.
