Migrating FTP from IIS 6 on Win 2008 R2 to Win 2022

[Mike Leone]

Yes, I know.

I have an old server that is running IIS with FTP. I have to (finally) migrate it over to a new server running Win 2022. Problem is, there are 98 virtual directories defined under this FTP site.

Copying over the folder structure and it's security is easy enough - hello, robocopy - but I'm not finding an easy way to export out those FTP virtual directory entries. I see references to a tool (CopyRight2) that I can't seem to get to; I see references to some "Web Deploy" addon from MS. This also seems a bit out of date, it doesn't look like it supports Win 2022, so I can import what I export.

I see I can export sites using appcmd, but I don't see it exporting FTP site details, such as all these virtual directories.

Any recommendations? I really don't want to create 98 virtual directories by hand. LOL But I'm also not seeing any easy way to export/import them, or even do something like read them in with powershell, create them on the target server like that.

Thanks

A few suggestions. FTP is basically IIS and you can backup and restore that.

Otherwise, clone the machine and do an inplace upgrade 2008 R2 -> 2012 R2 -> 2016 -> 2022.

Have you looked at the webadministration powershell module?

 

Get-WebConfiguration should list all that information.

 

Other cmdlets allow you create virtual directories and other blah blah blah.

Considering that I never heard of it until you just mentioned it now ... no. LOL

OK! Maybe I can save the config using that and apply it to a new server.

If all else fails, I'm going to go the clone the VM, upgrade in place route. That would be quickest (for me) ...

Oh. This is PS 7 only? I'm not running v7 ..

Takes 5 minutes to install it and it runs side-by-side v5.

OK. Did that. Tried to load that module, told me

 PS C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\Modules> import-module WebAdministration

Import-Module: The specified module 'WebAdministration' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

Tried to install it:

PS C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\Modules> install-module WebAdministration
Install-Package: No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name 'WebAdministration'. Try Get-PSRepository to see
all available registered module repositories.

This is where I installed PS 7. The source I wanna copy from is Win 2008 R2, so I can't install there. And the target I would want to copy the web server config to, will be a WIn 2022 server, but it has PS v5 on it - I'm not ready to put PS v7 on a production server, not with all the grief I am having just trying to load a module ...

[Wright, John M]

Okay, I think this might be something I’ve run into before.  Can you try this?

 

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

 

Then rerun your original command.

If you are putting it on a client operating system then you’ve got to install it from control panel. Same as it ever was.

Closer!

PS C:\Windows\System32> Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName IIS-ManagementScriptingTools

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature: One or several parent features are disabled so current feature can not be enabled.

Not a lot of helpful details, like which parent feature do I need to enable, or how .. .LOL

 

In the meantime, I am doing an upgrade in place of a clone of that VM, from Win 2008 R2 -> Win 2012 R2 -> Win 2022, so I don't need this for this task. 

But at this point, I want to make it work, regardless ... I might need it in future, you never know ...

I can (and will) enable those features interactively, but it would have been nice if the message had said "Hey, I can't install this, until you install that first, as this is dependent on that parent feature".

[Orlebeck, Geoffrey]

Including the “-All” parameter should get you past the parent dependencies issue, but not sure if enabling “the parent and all of its default dependencies” (emphasis mine) would be desirable.
