Installing the SendFile applications on the Web server
To set up your Web server to run the SendFile applications, you will need to perform the following tasks.
To install the SendFile Test Suite applications on the Web Server
-
Use the IIS Virtual Directory Creation Wizard to create two virtual directories, SendFile_InProcess and SendFile_OutOfProcess, on your IIS server. The two virtual directories can point to the same physical directory (for example, C:\SendFile). Both virtual directories must be given the Read, Run Scripts, and Execute access permissions.
-
After the virtual directories have been created, open the Properties dialog for each directory and change the Application Protection setting. SendFile_InProcess must run as "Low (IIS Process)". SendFile_OutOfProcess must run as either "Medium (Pooled)" or "High (Isolated)".
-
From the <cdroot>\Apps\Sendfile directory of the Windows 2000 Resource Kit companion CD, copy file8K.txt, sendfile.asp, sendfile.exe, and sendfile.dll to the physical directory C:\SendFile. The data file, file8k.txt, can be installed anywhere on the server, but for convenience, copy it in the same directory as the applications.
-
Use your favorite browser to check that you can run the SendFile programs. Type in each of the following URLs
- Static
- http://server/SendFile_InProcess/file8K.txt
- http://server/SendFile_OutOfProcess/file8K.txt
- ASP
- http://server/SendFile_InProcess/sendfile.asp?/SendFile_InProcess/file8K.txt
- http://server/SendFile_OutOfProcess/sendfile.asp?/SendFile_OutOfProcess/file8K.txt
- ISAPI
- http://server/SendFile_InProcess/sendfile.dll?/SendFile_InProcess/file8K.txt
- http://server/SendFile_OutOfProcess/sendfile.dll?/SendFile_OutOfProcess/file8K.txt
- CGI
- http://server/SendFile_InProcess/sendfile.exe/SendFile_InProcess/file8K.txt
- http://server/SendFile_OutOfProcess/sendfile.exe/SendFile_OutOfProcess/file8K.txt
Note
There is no ? in the CGI's URLs. For an explanation of this, see the source of sendfile.exe.
