Configure FTP from the command line (IIS)
Continuing the study of the IIS command line begun here , I propose to get acquainted with how FTP can be configured in IIS.
Starting with version 7, IIS introduced the universal command-line tool AppCmd. And now you can create, configure, and use FTP services from the command line in exactly the same way as you can do now (starting with IIS 7) with websites. Let's look at an example in more detail.
First you need to install the necessary components. Suppose we already have preinstalled IIS and we only need FTP services. We will use the pkgmgr package manager:
IIS is now ready to configure the first FTP. To use AppCmd, you must use the full path to the command:% windir% \ system32 \ inetsrv \ appcmd.exe, or write the path to the PATH environment variable. It will be enough for us to run appcmd directly from its directory:
This script will create a folder
And so, add the directories:
To check, we also use the command line and the ftp command:
In order to write a script for powershell, you need some minor cosmetic changes.
So in order to install FTP services you need to do:
To create an FTP site:
Similarly, you can add virtual directories:
But I did not find a solution to working with the configuration of intelligible solutions. All that I found here and here . The latter did not inspire me in the light of the fact that some changes should be made at the APPHOST level.
So if there are suggestions and comments - always welcome. With pleasure I will add.

Install FTP
First you need to install the necessary components. Suppose we already have preinstalled IIS and we only need FTP services. We will use the pkgmgr package manager:
pkgmgr /iu:IIS-FTPServer;IIS-FTPSvc;IIS-FTPExtensibility;
Configure FTP
IIS is now ready to configure the first FTP. To use AppCmd, you must use the full path to the command:% windir% \ system32 \ inetsrv \ appcmd.exe, or write the path to the PATH environment variable. It will be enough for us to run appcmd directly from its directory:
cd%windir%\system32\inetsrv
set ftproot=%systemdrive%\inetpub\ftproot
set ftpsite=MyFtp
ifnotexist "%ftproot%" (mkdir "%ftproot%")
appcmd add site /name:%ftpsite% /bindings:ftp://*:21 /physicalpath:"%ftproot%"
appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /[name='%ftpsite%'].ftpServer.security.authentication.AnonimouseAuthentication.enabled:true
appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /[name='%ftpsite%'].ftpServer.security.ssl.controlChannelPolicy:"SslAllow"
appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /[name='%ftpsite%'].ftpServer.security.ssl.dataChannelPolicy:"SslAllow"
appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /[name='%ftpsite%'].ftpServer.directoryBrowse.showFlags:DisplayVirtualDirectories
appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /[name='%ftpsite%'].ftpServer.userIsolation.mode:StartInUsersDirectory
appcmd set config %ftpsite% /section:system.ftpserver/security/authorization /+[accessType='Allow',permissions='Read',roles='',users='*'] /commit:apphost
This script will create a folder
inetpub\ftprooton the system drive, and bind it to the root folder of our MyFtp site. We also configured our site to use anonymous authentication. And put SSL in allow mode (it requires by default). The last line, we have distributed read permissions to all users. Now we just have to add virtual folders to our site and we can use it, and the showFlags: DisplayVirtualDirectories parameter will allow us to see not only the root directory, but also the virtual directories too. And so, add the directories:
appcmd add vdir /app.name:"%ftpsite%/" /path:/path1 /physicalPath:D:\path1
appcmd add vdir /app.name:"%ftpsite%/" /path:/path2 /physicalPath:\\MEDIASERVER\path2
Check
To check, we also use the command line and the ftp command:
c:\Users\User>ftpserverConnectedtoSERVER.domain.corp.
220 MicrosoftFTPServiceUser (SERVER.domain.corp:(none)): anonymous
331 Anonymousaccessallowed, sendidentity (e-mailname) aspassword.

Why not PowerShell
In order to write a script for powershell, you need some minor cosmetic changes.
So in order to install FTP services you need to do:
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Ftp-Server,Web-Ftp-Service,Web-Ftp-Ext
To create an FTP site:
$ftproot="$env:systemdrive\inetpub\ftproot"
$ftpsite="MyFtp"
if (-not (test-path $ftproot)){ new-item -path $ftproot -type directory }
new-item -path IIS:/sites/$ftpsite -type site -bindings @{protocol='ftp';bindingInformation=':21:'} -physicalpath:$ftproot
Similarly, you can add virtual directories:
new-item -path IIS:/sites/$ftpsite/path1 -type virtualdirectory -physicalpath d:\share
But I did not find a solution to working with the configuration of intelligible solutions. All that I found here and here . The latter did not inspire me in the light of the fact that some changes should be made at the APPHOST level.
So if there are suggestions and comments - always welcome. With pleasure I will add.
