FTP Sessions <sessions>

Overview

The <sessions> element is a dynamically generated collection of <session> elements, each of which is dynamically created by the FTP service as clients connect to your FTP server. The data that is contained in the attributes for each <session> element is read-only; values can be queried but not modified. Each <session> element contains a terminate method, which allows you to disconnect the client session.

Compatibility

Version Notes
IIS 10.0 The <sessions> element was not modified in IIS 10.0.
IIS 8.5 The <sessions> element was not modified in IIS 8.5.
IIS 8.0 The <sessions> element was not modified in IIS 8.0.
IIS 7.5 The <sessions> element of the <ftpServer> element ships as a feature of IIS 7.5.
IIS 7.0 The <sessions> element of the <ftpServer> element was introduced in FTP 7.0, which was a separate download for IIS 7.0.
IIS 6.0 N/A

Note

The FTP 7.0 and FTP 7.5 services shipped out-of-band for IIS 7.0, which required downloading and installing the modules from the following URL:

https://www.iis.net/expand/FTP

With Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the FTP 7.5 service ships as a feature for IIS 7.5, so downloading the FTP service is no longer necessary.
