1. How to install FTP on Windows Server 2022
2 . How to install IIS on Windows Server 2022

One of the great advantages of Windows Server is that it is integrated with numerous roles and services focused on providing the server administrator and user with the best options for global and centralized control of each object. Within all these roles we highlight two that are essential, such as FTP, ideal for secure connections and IIS, which is practical for everything related to web management..

 

At TechnoWikis we are going to explain how to install each one of them in the new edition of Windows Server 2022 which is available for now through the Windows Insider program, that is, it is a trial version but it gives us a light on what coming.

 

 

Let's see how to install these two roles in Windows Server 2022..

 


1. How to install FTP on Windows Server 2022


FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is a protocol developed to send and receive files, but in addition to this it is possible to create, rename or delete these files in TCP / IP networks, the FTP protocol works in passive modes and active.

 

FTP functions
The mode of use involves two actors:

 

  • One connection for data transfer
  • One connection for control connection

 

FTP gives us the possibility to:

 

  • Implement its use on remote computers
  • Exchanging files comprehensively
  • Transfer data reliably

 

FTP handles two connections which are:

 

  • Control connection: allows us to transfer a command line, this connection is used in control processes so that its status will be active throughout the interactive FTP session.
  • Data connection: it is the connection used in data transfer processes

  • Add server variables for cryptographic protocol, encryption algorithm, key exchange algorithm, and message authentication algorithm
