A. A. Directory annotation displays a file list and description for each FTP directory. It can be useful for visitors to understand what they are downloading. To implement follow the procedure below:
Log on to the IIS server machine as an Administrator
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesmsftpsvcParameters
From the Edit menu select New - DWord value
Enter the name AnnotateDirectories and press Enter
Double click on the new value and set the value to 1
You should now stop and restart the WWW server service
You now need to create a file called ~ftpsvc~.ckm in each directory where you wish the annotation. The file is just a normal ASCII format file.
