Figure 6-4 shows the dialog you??™ll see when using Internet Information Services
(IIS), Microsoft??™s built-in Web server, to create an HTTP(S) site. You could easily do
the same with any non-Microsoft Web server as well.
Figure 6-4. You could expose your log backup location as an HTTP/HTTPS site.
FTP is slightly different. By default, Windows FTP will not be included when
installing IIS, so you need to install Windows FTP explicitly. Once you??™ve installed
Windows FTP, simply create a site and then expose folders with various permissions
underneath them. Figure 6-5 shows an FTP site exposed within the IIS
management tool (available under Administrative Tools ?¤ Control Panel).
nCaution Network administrators are often hesitant to install FTP without a sound business need. Be sure
to have business buy-in before installing FTP. Also, leverage an existing FTP installation rather than request
an FTP site dedicated to just your standby server scenario.
Figure 6-6 shows the dialog involved in setting permissions to the actual FTP site.
Many administrators want to place additional NTFS security on the folder.
