title: FileZilla Ftp Access to IIS hosted website
body: <p>I am working on an <code>ASP.NET MVC 4</code> web site, and it's localy hosted using <code>IIS 7.5</code>. The basic idea is to upload files into my website, and be able to see the result using FileZilla. So, I've installed FTP Service, and then I've activated the <strong>Anonymus authentification</strong> using IIS manager.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to access my website content via FileZilla, but so far I've couldn't.</p>
  
  <p>Knowing that my hosted website could be visualized by the following address (<code>http://localhost/mywebsite</code>), I used the following parameters with FileZilla :</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>First try :</em></strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Host : localhost\mywebsite</li>
  <li>Port : Blank</li>
  <li>Auth type : Anonymus</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><em>Result message : No address associated with nodename</em></p>
  
  <p><em><strong>Second try:</em></strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Host : localhost</li>
  <li>Port : Blank</li>
  <li>Auth type : Anonymus</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><em>Result message : Connection refused by the server</em></p>
  
  <p><em><strong>Third try :</em></strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Host : localhost\mywebsite</li>
  <li>Port : Blank</li>
  <li>Auth type : Normal</li>
  <li>Id : username</li>
  <li>Pass : password</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><em><strong>Forth try:</em></strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Host : localhost</li>
  <li>Port : Blank</li>
  <li>Auth type : Normal</li>
  <li>Id : username</li>
  <li>Pass : password</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><em>Result message : Connection refused by the server</em></p>
  
  <p><em><strong>PS :</strong> The user name and the password were set using iis manager, by editing the anonymus authentification.</em></p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance :-)</p>
