Test the Connection
We are now ready to test the connection. Internet Explorer 6.0 can access both Web and FTP sites within the browser. The only difference in the current example is that you will specify http:// for the Web site and ftp:// for the FTP site. You will also see in the following walkthrough how to configure the FTP site to accept uploads from external users.
Perform the following steps to test the Web and FTP Server Publishing Rules:
1.The first step on the external Windows 2000 client is to configure a HOSTS file entry so that the client will resolve the name perimeter.msfirewall.org to the external address on the ISA Server 2004 firewall.
2.Click Start and Run. In the Run dialog box, enter notepad in the Open text box, and click OK.
3.Click the File menu and Open. In the Open dialog box, enter c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in the File name text box, and click Open.
4.Add the following line to the HOSTS file:
192.168.1.70 perimeter.msfirewall.org
Press ENTER at the end of the line so that the insertion point sits on the next line. Click File and then click Exit. In the Notepad dialog box, click Yes to save the changes.
5.From the external client machine, open Internet Explorer and enter http://perimeter.msfirewall.org into the Address bar. Press ENTER. The default Web page for the site will appear.
6.In Internet Explorer, enter ftp://perimeter.msfirewall.org in the Address bar and press ENTER. You will see the contents of the FTP site. By default, you can only download files from the site.
