Materials:
Instructions:
1. Open the Oracle VM VirtualBox application then start the created two (2) virtual machine with installed
Windows operating system. Ask the instructor for the login passwords. (Note: Each virtual machine
must have its login password.)
2. Create an FTP server that can share files to clients. (Note: The computers should be connected on the
same network.)
3. In the server computer, create a folder named LastName_FirstName and create some text files inside
the folder. (ex. Diaz_Jess)
4. Enable the Internet Information Services (IIS). This is an extensible Web server created by Microsoft
that supports FTP and other protocols.
5. Open Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off > the Windows
Features window will appear.
6. Expand Internet Information Service > FTP Server > then enable FTP Extensibility and FTP Service
then click the OK button.
7. To enable the FTP connections to the server, Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall > select Allow a
program or feature through Windows Firewall > then enable FTP Server and the corresponding Private
and Public checkboxes. (Note: After enabling the FTP server, turn off the Windows Firewall.)
8. Setup the FTP server. Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > the Administrative Tools window
will appear > open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager > the Internet Information Services (IIS)
Manager window will appear.
9. In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window, expand the computer name > Sites. Right-click
Sites > select Add FTP Site > the Add FTP Site window will appear.
10. Set the FTP Site name to “FTPServer” and select your created folder to specify the Physical Path then

then open a browser or a file explorer. In the search bar or path field, type ftp://[ip address of the
server]/ > an authentication window will appear > log-on the username and password of the server

(Note: To test if the connection is successful, the client’s computer should be able to view the content
of the server’s folder.)
