III-143 Do you ever need to change the default TCP/IP port IIS, Gopher, Microsoft Internet Service Manager, or FTP uses? You can try to change it using the Microsoft Internet Service Manager. If that doesn’t work, and a lot of times it doesn’t, try this registry entry.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceProvider\ ServiceType\MSFTPSVC
Value Name: TcpPort
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: < desired port number >

This value regulates the FTP service.

III-144 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceProvider\ ServiceType\GOPHERSVC
Value Name: TcpPort
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: < desired port number >

This value regulates the Gopher service.

III-145 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceProvider\ ServiceType\Microsoft Internet Information Server
Value Name: TcpPort
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: < desired port number >

This value regulates the Internet Information Server.

III-146 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceProvider\ ServiceType\W3SVC
Value Name: TcpPort
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: < desired port number >

This value sets the default port that the WWW service listens on.

III-147 Problem: You have configured FTP on two servers. One server is a PDC and the other is a stand-alone server. You can FTP to the PDC just fine, but you have trouble using your domain accounts with the standalone server. This registry entry solves the problem.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\FTPSVC
Value Name: DefaultLogonDomain
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value: < domain name >

Restart the machine for these changes to take effect. You should make this change only on the stand-alone server, not the PDC (or any subsequent BDC).

III-148 Several hundred users with valid network accounts frequently access your FTP server. You also have many anonymous accesses. You can create a setup that logs only the anonymous users by modifying this registry entry.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSFTPSVC\ Parameters

Add the following value under the Parameters key.

Value Name: LogNonAnonymous
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

The default value is 1. Set this to 0 to disable logging users who have actual user accounts.

III-149 Are your users having problems downloading files from your FTP server even though they type the exact file names? This registry entry should solve the problem.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSFTPSVC\ Parameters

Add the following value under the Parameters key.

Value Name: LowercaseFiles
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

The default value is 0, or disabled. Set this value to 1 to enable lowercase file comparisons.

III-150 Do you want to change the Administrator name for your FTP service? Here is the registry entry that stores that value.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSFTPSVC\ Parameters

Add the following value under the Parameters key:

Value Name: AdminName
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value: Administrator

The default value is Administrator. Change it to the appropriate name for your site. Restart the service for these changes to take effect.
