IIS allows you to easily publish information on the Internet, or on your or your company's intranet. You place your Web files in directories on your server and users establish HTTP connections and view your files with a Web browser. IIS for Windows XP Professional is designed for home or small business networks and allows only 10 simultaneous client connections. It also does not provide all the features that the version included with Windows Server 2003 provides.
You will use the Internet Information Services snap-in to manage IIS. The Internet Information Services snap-in helps you manage the content of and access to your Web and FTP sites. To access the Internet Information Services snap-in, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services. The Internet Information Services snap-in lets you handle all aspects of administration for IIS. For example, every Web and FTP site must have a home directory. When you install IIS, a default home directory is created. When you create a new Web site,you can use the Internet Information Services snap-in to change your home directory. To change your home directory, in the Internet Information Services snap-in, right click a Web or FTP site, and then click Properties. In the site's Properties dialog box, click the Home Directory tab. You can specify a directory on this computer, a shared directory located on another computer, or a redirection to a URL, and then type the path in the Local Path text box. Click OK and you have changed your home directory.
If your Web site contains files that are located in directories other than your home directory (for example, on another computer), you must create virtual directories to include these files on your Web site. You use the IIS console to create these virtual directories. In the console, select the Web or FTP site to which you want to add a directory. On the Action menu, point to New, and click Virtual Directory. This starts the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard, which will guide you through creating the new directory. When IIS is installed on a computer running Windows XP Professional, an additional tab named Web Sharing becomes available on the Properties dialog box of any folder, you can use this tab to quickly make any folder accessible via your personal Web site. To share a folder on a personal Web site by using the Web Sharing tab, use these steps:
1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the folder you want to share through your Web site, and then click Properties.2. In the Properties dialog box for the folder, on the Web Sharing tab, use the Share On menu to select the site on which you want to share the folder. By default, the Default Web Site is selected. If you have only one Web site, there are no other choices on the menu.3. Click Share This Folder. Windows XP displays the Edit Alias dialog box.4. In the Edit Alias dialog box, type an Alias for the folder. The alias is the name by which the folder is displayed on the Web site. By default, Windows creates an alias that is the same as the folder name.5. Configure access permissions for the folder. Available access permissions are as follows:
