FTP site setup with Powershell - Advanced Settings

Question

User-2108767085 posted

Hi there

I am setting up an FTP site via PowerShell. I can get all the basics OK but I cant seem to figure out how to set the Advanced Settings..

Things like - Max Connections, Control Channel Timeout

I found this:

Set-WebConfigurationProperty '/system.applicationHost/sites/site[@name="Default Web Site"]' -Name Limits -Value @{MaxConnections=}

But cant make it work for my FTP site.

I have tried through the Configuration Editor as well and the string it gives me also does not work:

Add-WebConfigurationProperty -pspath 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/TestFTPsite' -filter "system.net/connectionManagement" -name "." -value @{maxconnection=10000}

It errors saying - Add-WebConfigurationProperty : Property TestFTPsite is not found on system.net/connectionManagement.

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

Hi pelagos,

Please try to use these powershell command

Set-WebConfigurationProperty -pspath 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST'  -filter "system.applicationHost/sites/site[@name='Default Web Site']/ftpServer/connections" -name "controlChannelTimeout" -value 100
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -pspath 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST'  -filter "system.applicationHost/sites/site[@name='Default Web Site']/ftpServer/connections" -name "maxConnections" -value 4294967290

Best regards,
