Setting up an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server on Windows Server 2025 allows seamless file sharing across networks. However, improper configuration can expose your system to security vulnerabilities. In this guide, we’ll walk you through installing, configuring, and securing an FTP server on Windows Server 2025 using best practices.

Step 1: Install FTP Server on Windows Server 2025

Install the FTP Role

To enable FTP services, follow these steps:

Open Server Manager.

Click on Manage → Add Roles and Features.

Select Role-based or feature-based installation and click Next.

Choose your server and click Next.

Under Server Roles, expand Web Server (IIS) → FTP Server.

Select both FTP Service and FTP Extensibility.

Click Next, then Install.

Verify FTP Installation

After installation, open IIS Manager and check if FTP Server appears under your site settings.

Step 2: Configure FTP Server on Windows Server 2025

Create an FTP Site

Open IIS Manager and right-click on Sites → Add FTP Site.

Enter a name and select a physical directory for file storage.

Configure binding settings:

Select an IP address or leave it as All Unassigned.

Choose No SSL (for local use) or Require SSL (for security).

Set Authentication to Basic and specify user permissions.

Click Finish to create the site.

Allow FTP Traffic in Windows Firewall

Run these commands in PowerShell to open FTP ports:

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow FTP Traffic" -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 21 -Action Allow

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Allow FTP Passive Mode" -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 1024-65535 -Action Allow

Step 3: Secure Your FTP Server

Enable FTPS (FTP Over SSL/TLS)

Obtain or generate an SSL certificate.

In IIS Manager, go to your FTP site and select FTP SSL Settings.

Choose your certificate and set Require SSL.

Restrict User Access

Use Windows NTFS permissions to control access:

Read-only for users who only need to download files.

Read/Write for authorized users.

To prevent unauthorized access:

In IIS Manager, go to your FTP Site → FTP IP Restrictions.

Add allow rules for trusted IPs and deny rules for unknown sources.
