![]() ![]() Here is the IIS Manager, we need to create the FTP site that you will want this specific user to have access to. This can be found in the Start Menu, or by clicking on Tools in Server Manager as we did before, but clicking on Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Now that FTP Services are installed and a user is created, we need to head on over to the IIS Manager. Considering the FTP user will only have access to the destination you allow, it is not necessary to change the password. Because this is strictly for FTP, we will uncheck that and check “ User cannot change password” and “ Password never expires”. Under Confirm Password, we see that by default “ User must change password at next logon” is selected. Fill out this information accordingly and type in a password for this user. On the far right of the Computer Management, once we have navigated to Users, we see a More Actions and will need to click on that to add a New User.Ĭlicking on New User will pop up a simple interface that asks for the user name, the user’s full name, a description for that user that serves as a description for you, the administrator, to recognize the purpose of this user. ![]() Double-click on Users and a list of all the Local Users will formulate. Here, under System Tools, if we click the drop down carrot, we will see the Local Users and Groups section. On Windows 2012 and up, we can do this by right-clicking the Start Menu button, and selecting Computer Management. We do this by accessing Computer Management. This install process shouldn’t take too long.īefore we add an FTP site, we need to set up a user with some credentials. We can leave this box unchecked and click on Install. For installing FTP Services, a restart is not needed. At the top, you will see an option to “ restart the destination server automatically if needed“. Once you have the FTP features selected, click on Next a couple of times until you get to the Confirmation page. If your users plan on using ASP.NET services or IIS Manager, you will want to make sure you check FTP Extensibility. However, if these are not checked, go ahead and check FTP Server and FTP Service. ![]() If all of these are already checked, you can skip ahead to the Adding and Assigning FTP Users section of this help article. Dropping down the FTP Feature will show the available FTP features. There are 3 different options with checkboxes Web Server, FTP Server, and Management Tools. FTP services are going to be found under the role Web Server. We aren’t looking for anything but FTP at this time, so we won’t cover all of the features and services we find here. Server Roles are where you will find the features your server can have enabled separately, depending on your needs. If so, you can click Next which brings you to Server Roles. Make sure your server is highlighted, by default, it should be. Once you have the Add Roles and Features Wizard up, click Next until you are at the Server Selection. At the top of the menu, click on the option Add Roles and Features. We want to click on Manage, which will show a drop-down menu. Once the server manager is open, in the top right corner, there are a few options: Manage, Tools, View, and Help. To do that on a Core/Self-Managed server, we need to RDP to the server and open Server Manager. The first thing that you need to check before creating an FTP user is to enable FTP on your server. In this tutorial, we will cover how to utilize FTP on a Core/Self-Managed Dedicated server or a VPS server, as well as a Plesk Server. An FTP user will only have access to the folders that are designated to them, limiting them in their own environment so as not to accidentally change other user’s files and file structure on their project/domain. FTP is a quick and easy way for someone to connect to their project, without having to have full access to RDP into the server. You or your developer may want to have access via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to the folders for the project or domain that is being worked on. ![]()
