hello

my RDP servers are being attacked (apparently with putty)
I know I can block the attack by activating windows firewall
but that also blocks FTP

You are defo not attacked by putty, that's just a software. People are using that software to connect on servers via SSH/telnet etc and uses that to attack you.
 
As WizzUpload said you need to block ssh/telnet protocol access, putty is just a software to connect via that protocol. you can also restrict login via ssh just from your IP, Search these terms on google you will find a lot of tutorials on how to do it: "block ssh by ip" or "block ssh brute force" or "ssh access disable"
 
THANKS
but I tried putting that in the command prompt and it's not redesigning the command

hmmm I was just reading the telnet uses port 21
that's the default FTP port

C:\Users\Administrator>-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP
'-A' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.



C:\Users\Administrator>iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP
'iptables' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
 
Windows CLI: netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name=blockssh name protocol=TCP localport=22

*NIX CLI: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP
