Install IIS with FTP service

Last night, when I requested a friend to share the video recording of a NBA game Lakers VS Nuggets, I realized I just uninstalled IIS last time coz that I installed Apache server, and now I need to reinstall IIS in order to set up a FTP server, using my computer as host.

To install IIS, I went to Control Panel-Add or Remove Softwares-Add or Remove Windows Components, and there in the list of windows components I ticked the Internet Information Services checkbox, and clicked next to install it. However, after installation complete, I opened IIS manager but found there was no default FTP site! I thought it was an install incomplete error, so I reinstalled IIS again, still no FTP site.

Since it was not working, I thought there might be problems with windows installation backup files, and decided to uninstall IIS and install ServerU, yet when I was about to uninstall IIS, in the dialogue box, I noticed there was a details button, and when I clicked to get in, I realized what had gone wrong with my installation: FTP service was not selected to be installed!

So now I selected it and installed IIS again, finally can use FTP services. Well, it was really a bit tricky.
