We will 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.

1. Start – Administrative Tools – Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
2. Right click on Sites – Add FTP Site

3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Check Anonymous Authentication, Allow access to Anonymous users, check Read permissions only, and click Finish.
6. Make sure you can see your newly created FTP site from the IIS Manager
7. 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.
8. Create a text file and put it in your FTP folder.
9. To check if your ftp works go to ftp://IPAddress
