How to Create & Configure FTP Sites Using IIS 7.0
A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server gives your users access to upload and download files. FTP servers are used in internal networks or hosted on a website to give customers the ability to send or download files. You can create and set up an FTP server in Internet Information Services (IIS) 7, which is the main Web hosting utility on a Windows server. IIS is available on any Windows server operating system, so you can host an FTP server for your users.
