How to configure FTP site on Windows
After installing the necessary components to run an FTP server on your PC, you need to create an FTP site using the following instructions:
- Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and selectControl Panel.
- Open Administrative Tools.
- Double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
- Expand and right-click Sites on the Connections pane.
- Select Add FTP Site.
- Name your new FTP site and enter the path to the FTP folder you want to use to send and receive files.
Note: You can also use the Make New Folder button to create a specific folder to store your FTP files.
- Click Next.
- On Binding and SSL Settings leave all the default settings, but change the SSL option to No SSL.
Note: It's worth pointing out that in a business environment or on an FTP server that will host sensitive data, it's best practice to configure the site to require SSL.
- Click Next.
- On Authentication, check the Basic option.
- On Authorization, select Specified users from the drop-down menu.
- Type the email address of your Windows 10 account or local account name to allow yourself access to the FTP server.
