I feel for you... IIS isn't the most friendly webserver.

@DustinB3403 To date, I haven't had to configure any kind of web server, so as annoying as it is, it's an opportunity for me. Especially since if everything blows up eyes now come to me to get everything running again

@DustinB3403 Actually annoying isn't the right word. Challenging would be better.

I should also add to this to what I'm doing:
"Being a n00b with the Mangolassi message board." -

Why still the need for FTP instead of something that at least pretends to have a little bit of security?

Like SFTP?

@travisdh1 "It's the way it's always been." Changing what we use this for is beyond the scope of my task right now.

Customer compatibility. Our customers are not smart enough to deal with anything else. They can barely use FTP, but they routinely send us large DBs (100gb+), which would cost a ton if we used dropbox or whatever. So FTP it is for us.

You could set up a Secure FTP server in as little as 10 minutes on your hypervisor. Just download the CentOS ISO and go.

Ok, being me, asking these questions is almost compulsory anymore. Things like this are all on management after I've properly documented everything.

Yeah, if you already know CentOS... that adds MANY hours of fiddling if you don't.

@DustinB3403 If I only had the authority to do such a thing. . .

@RojoLoco Really, I'm a blank slate, so I'd like to start with CentOS; however, that's not an option in my environtment right now (keep in mind there is no technical limitation here).

The strictly windows based IIS/.NET/ASP overlords here would never allow me to stray from our current setup. But they pay me good and treat me well, so fuck it, not a big deal to me.
