Default FTP Security Settings <security>

Overview

The <security> element defines the parent element for the security options of FTP sites, and contains the following child elements, which are displayed hierarchically:

  • <authentication> - This child element is the parent element for the various authentication settings for FTP sites, and contains the following child elements:

    • <anonymousAuthentication> - Specifies the settings for anonymous access. This form of authentication allows access to an FTP site without a user account on your server or domain, and is most often used for public FTP sites
    • <basicAuthentication> - Specifies the settings for Basic authentication. This form of authentication requires a valid user account on your server or domain before users can log in.
    • <clientCertAuthentication> - Specifies whether the Active Directory client certificate authentication is enabled. This form of authentication uses client certificates to authenticate FTP clients.
    • <customAuthentication> - Specifies the settings for custom authentication. This form of authentication uses custom authentication providers to validate user names and passwords.
  • <commandFiltering> - Specifies the settings for FTP command filtering. This collection lets you individually allow or deny specific FTP commands for your FTP service.

  • <customAuthorization> - Specifies the settings for custom authorization. This form of authorization uses a built-in authorization provider or a custom authorization provider to validate user access.

  • <dataChannelSecurity> - Specifies the settings for FTP data channel security. This security feature enforces that the data and control channel for a session must have a matching client address.

  • <ssl> - Specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings for an FTP site.

  • <sslClientCertificates> - Specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client certificates settings for an FTP site.

Compatibility

Version Notes
IIS 10.0 The <security> element was not modified in IIS 10.0.
IIS 8.5 The <security> element was not modified in IIS 8.5.
IIS 8.0 The <security> element was not modified in IIS 8.0.
IIS 7.5 The <security> element of the <ftpServer> element ships as a feature of IIS 7.5.
IIS 7.0 The <security> element of the <ftpServer> element was introduced in FTP 7.0, which was a separate download for IIS 7.0.
IIS 6.0 The <ftpServer> element and its child elements replace the IIS 6.0 FTP settings that were located in the LM/MSFTPSVC metabase path.

Note

The FTP 7.0 and FTP 7.5 services shipped out-of-band for IIS 7.0, which required downloading and installing the modules from the following URL:

https://www.iis.net/expand/FTP

With Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the FTP 7.5 service ships as a feature for IIS 7.5, so downloading the FTP service is no longer necessary.

         <commandFiltering>
            <add command="SYST" allowed="false" />
         </commandFiltering>
         <ssl serverCertHash="57686f6120447564652c2049495320526f636b73" controlChannelPolicy="SslAllow" dataChannelPolicy="SslAllow" />
         <sslClientCertificates clientCertificatePolicy="CertIgnore" />
         <authentication>
             <anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
             <basicAuthentication enabled="false" />
             <clientCertAuthentication enabled="false" />
             <customAuthentication>
                <providers>
                   <add name="FtpCustomAuthenticationModule" enabled="false" />
                </providers>
             </customAuthentication>
         </authentication>
      </security>
   </ftpServer>
</siteDefaults>

Sample Code

The following code samples illustrate setting several of the FTP site defaults.

AppCmd.exe

appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /+"siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.commandFiltering.[command='SYST',allowed='False']" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.ssl.controlChannelPolicy:"SslAllow" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.ssl.dataChannelPolicy:"SslAllow" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.ssl.serverCertHash:"57686f6120447564652c2049495320526f636b73" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.authentication.anonymousAuthentication.enabled:"False" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.authentication.basicAuthentication.enabled:"False" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.authentication.clientCertAuthentication.enabled:"False" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.sslClientCertificates.clientCertificatePolicy:"CertIgnore" /commit:apphost
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /+"siteDefaults.ftpServer.security.authentication.customAuthentication.providers.[name='FtpCustomAuthenticationModule',enabled='False']" /commit:apphost

Note

You must be sure to set the commit parameter to apphost when you use AppCmd.exe to configure these settings. This commits the configuration settings to the appropriate location section in the ApplicationHost.config file.
