In IIS why do HTTP requests use the host header, and FTP requests do not
- by Keeno
So....
In IIS, if you use the in-build FTP you need to combine the FTP host header in the FTP username e.g. www.hello.com|domain/username
So, the FTP program gets its "hook" from the username. However, you can connect to the FTP site using www.hello.com:21 over the FTP port.
Why then, doesnt the FTP service work the same way as the HTTP service?…
