how to configure or create an FTP Server Windows Server 2008 R2

We will first create an anonymous FTP site in IIS 7.0.  Anonymous sites are useful for distributing files publicly, since they don't require any kind of login or security.  This is not recommended in the Cloud environment and is shown here only for demonstration purposes.

• Click Start - Administrative Tools - Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager

• Right click on Sites - Add FTP Site (Or click Add FTP Site in the Actions pane)

• Add an FTP site name and location for the files.   You can choose a pre-existing location or create a new directory by typing it in the Physical path:   This one is called MyFTPSite, but you can choose any physical path you'd like.  Click Next.

• On the next page, choose an IP address or leave as default (All Unassigned), check Start FTP site automatically, select Allow SSL, and click Next.

• Check Anonymous Authentication, Allow access to Anonymous users, check Read permissions only, or you can add any user for Read write permissions and click Finish.

• Make sure you can see your newly created FTP site from the IIS Manager

• Right click on the FTP site and click Explore - Right click New - Folder.  Once you've created the new folder, you will need to load some content to your folder. 

In this example, we've created a test document in notepad and dragged in to this folder.
