Adding FTP Site

To a Web Site

If you want to add FTP server to manage your web site remotely, locate your web site node in IIS
Manager and:

 Click Add FTP Publishing action.


 In Add FTP Site Publishing wizard:
o On an initial Binding and SSL Settings step, select Require SSL to disallow non-encrypted
connections and select your certificate.
o On Authentication and Authorization Information step, select Basic authentication and
make sure Anonymous authentication is not selected. Select which users (Windows
accounts) you allow to connect to the server with what permissions. You can choose All
users or select only some. Do not select Anonymous users.
o Submit with Finish button.

Your secure FTPS server is now running and can be connected to.
Standalone FTP Site

If you want to add a standalone FTP server to store/exchange files, locate Sites node (folder) of your
Windows server in IIS Manager and:

 Click Add FTP Site action.


 In Add FTP Site wizard:
o On an initial Site Information step, give a name to your FTP site (if it’s the only site you
are going to have, simple “FTP site” suffice) and specify a path to a folder on your
server’s disk that is going to be accessible using FTP.
o On a Binding and SSL Settings step, select Require SSL to disallow non-encrypted
connections and select your certificate.
o On Authentication and Authorization Information step, select Basic authentication and

Connecting to Your FTPS Server

For connecting to a Microsoft Azure Windows instance, see a specific guide.

Start WinSCP. Login Dialog will appear. On the dialog:

 Select FTP protocol and TLS/SSL Explicit encryption.


 Enter your Windows server hostname to Host name field. Avoid using an IP address to allow
WinSCP to verify that the host name matches with host the server’s certificate was issued to (not
applicable to self-signed certificates).
 Specify username and password of Windows account you want to connect with (when using
domain accounts, you need to specify full username with format domain\username).
 You may want to save your session details to a site so you do not need to type them in every time
you want to connect. Press Save button and type site name.
 Press Login to connect.
 If you are using self-signed certificate, you will be prompted to accept it.
