[转载]Creating an FTP Drop Site
原始连接：[url]http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Creating-FTP-Drop-Site.html[/url]FTP is one of the oldest Internet protocols and still one of the most useful. In olden days,
businesses would transfer information by couriers on horseback carrying leather pouches filled
with documents. Now most business documents are electronic and are sent over the Internet instead, and while email is
often a good way of doing this, some electronic documents are unsuitable for email such as documents too large to serve as
attachments or documents that must be submitted anonymously such as surveys. As a result, many businesses still find need
for running FTP servers for uploading and downloading large files.
One interesting scenario is when you want customers, clients or business partners to be able to upload files anonymously to
your server but not be able to see or download files that others may have uploaded. Such a scenario is often called a 揹rop
box?because it operates like those physical boxes with slots on top that customers can use to fill out satisfaction surveys and
drop them in as they leave your store. It抯 fairly straightforward to set up such an environment using the FTP service
component of Internet Information Services (IIS), and that抯 what this article is about.
