IIS 7.0 and FTP 7

I am using a combination of IIS 7.0 and Microsoft FTP Publishing Service
7.0 RC0 on my system.

I am looking for a way to automate the deployment of ftp servers the way
I also automate the deployment of new websites within IIS.

I have looked at my applicationHost.config file, and noticed that the
FTP server makes the following changes to the file:

<binding protocol="ftp" bindingInformation="*:21:" />
</bindings>
<ftpServer>
<security>
<ssl
serverCertHash="AEAFAC5AAE6A0D057B552BF2065957718B CB50BB" ssl128="false"
controlChannelPolicy="SslAllow" dataChannelPolicy="SslAllow" />
<authentication>
<basicAuthentication enabled="true" />
</authentication>
</security>
<messages exitMessage="Goodbye"
greetingMessage="Welcome" bannerMessage="Hello" maxClientsMessage="Max
Connections" suppressDefaultBanner="true" />
<userIsolation mode="None">
<activeDirectory />
</userIsolation>
</ftpServer>

Under the current <sitenode.

It also adds the following upon adding ftp support to the first site:
FOr each website that ftp support is added to, it writes the following
information in the same file:

<location path="ControlPanel">
<system.ftpServer>
<security>
<authorization>
<add accessType="Allow" users="mick.walker"
permissions="Read, Write" />
</authorization>
</security>
</system.ftpServer>
</location>
<location path="Default Web Site">
<system.ftpServer>
<security>
<authorization>
<add accessType="Allow" users="mick.walker"
permissions="Read, Write" />
</authorization>
</security>
</system.ftpServer>
</location>
I am looking for a way to do this manually. I would love to find an API
to do it for me, but if not I would have to write the raw XML to the
file myself. I have never used XML before, so does anyone have a few
buzz words I should read into to figure out what it is I need to do?
Or if anyone knows a better way, please suggest it. :)

Regards
Mick
P.S:
(ASP.NET is running with appropriate permissions to modify the file)

Some options to look at:

Use WMI
Use appcmd.exe

Thanks for your reply Ken, I have actually been looking at
Microsoft.Web.Administration.

I wrote a little test program, which would allow me to modify various
options within the appplicationHost.config file:

using System;
using Microsoft.Web.Administration;

namespace WebATest1 {
internal class Program {
private static void Main(string[] args) {
ServerManager serverManager =
ServerManager.OpenRemote("194.46.4.8");
Configuration config =
serverManager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration();

// This works Perfectly
ConfigurationSection section =
config.GetSection("system.webServer/asp");
ConfigurationElement element =
section.GetChildElement("session");

Console.Write("allowSessionState attribute value: ");

Console.WriteLine(element.GetAttributeValue("allow SessionState"));
Console.WriteLine("Set allowSessionState value to true");

element.SetAttributeValue("allowSessionState", true);

serverManager.CommitChanges();

Console.Write("allowSessionState attribute value: ");

Console.WriteLine(element.GetAttributeValue("allow SessionState"));

section = null;
element = null;

// However this part doesnt
section = config.GetSection("system.webServer/");
element = section.GetChildElement("enableKernelCache");

Console.Write("enableKernelCache enabled value: ");

Console.WriteLine(element.GetAttributeValue("enabl eKernelCache"));
Console.WriteLine("Set enabled value to false ");
element.SetAttributeValue("enableKernelCache", false);

serverManager.CommitChanges();
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

The first part works perfectly, however the second part of the program
doesn't.

the applicationHost.config file section in question looks like:
<system.webServer>

<asp>
<cache
diskTemplateCacheDirectory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\ temp\ASP Compiled
Templates" />
<session allowSessionState="true" />
</asp>

<caching enabled="true" enableKernelCache="true">
</caching>

<cgi />
.....
.....
......
.......
</system.webServer>

Also I can not find any information on adding elements using the above
method.

I am not so familiar with using managed code, but I'll try to repro your
problem

When you say "it doesn't work", what do you mean exactly? nothing changes?
you get an error? etc
