   • Type, IP address and Port.
   • For Host name, type in the name of the server.

   

5. (If applicable) Copy all of the files from inetpub\webroot\SmartSync except the web.config file to the new site folder.

6. On the Connections pane, right click on the new site and click Add Application. Add the SmartSync application.

   

7. Select the new application and double click on Handler Mapping icon in the center pane.

8. On the Actions pane, click Add Script Map.

9. Type the following (items in bold will vary):

   • Request path: *.sync
   • Executable: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\new web site folder\SmartSync.dll
   • Name: user defined

   

10. Click Request Restrictions and clear Invoke handler only if request is mapped to. Click OK.

13. On the Actions pane, click Deny File Name Extension.

14. Enter .dll in the Deny File Name Extension dialog.
