-You may want to install a secure FTP server on Windows either as standalone file storage or to have means of editing your website hosted on IIS (Internet Information Services) web server. In both cases, you can use an optional //%%FTP%% Server// component of the %%IIS%%.

When behind an external firewall, you need to open ports for data connections (obviously in addition to opening an %%FTP%% port 21 and possibly an implicit TLS/SSL %%FTP%% port 990). You won't probably want to open whole default port range 1024-65535. In such case, you need to tell the %%FTP%% server to use only the range that is opened on the firewall. Use a //Data Channel Port Range// box for that. Any time you change this range, you will need to [[#restart|restart FTP service]]. //Learn how to [[guide_azure_ftps_server#firewall|open ports on Microsoft Azure]].// When behind an external firewall, you need to open ports for data connections (obviously in addition to opening an %%FTP%% port 21 and possibly an implicit TLS/SSL %%FTP%% port 990).
