I was trying to setup web server using IIS in windows 2000 advanced server, I can access the server by entering the IP address of the machine. For example, I entered "163.223.45.6", then list of files and folders appears! But How can I set once I entered the IP address, the default or index HTML file will show in the brower(Without enter something like 163.223.45.6/index.html or 163.223.45.6/default.html)? Also, It's there any web sites that I can know more about setting up FTP server, and windows 2000? Thanks!

If you look at the properties for your ftp site through Internet Information Services, you will see a tab that says documents. You need to uncheck the enable default document, and that will fix you.

look at the following MS KB Article ID: Q300662

HOW TO: Set Up Windows 2000 as an FTP Server

use a ftp client instead of IE to connect to the ftp server.(there is also somewhere a option to display the files as in unix or as in dos.)

The default home directory can be found at
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
To create an FTP server...
1.) Select the desired server in the details pane of IIS console
2.) Click the ACTION menu name, point to NEW, and choose FTP site.
3.) This launches the FTP Site Creation Wizard, which asks for the IP address to use for the FTP site, the Port number, Home directory location, and access permissions (read by default, write must be enabled to allow uploads)
