Install the Web Server role with the IIS Management Console and FTP Server role services:

Create a new FTP Site:

Setup the site with the default bindings and choose Allow SSL if you don’t plan on deploying a certificate:

Configure user permissions and basic or anonymous permission. If your server is connected to your domain you can specify domain users, otherwise they must be local user accounts:

Finally you’ll have to configure your server’s firewall rules to allow access. Personally, I think Microsoft’s done a great job up until this point… it’s a shame it couldn’t last. Disregard any existing FTP firewall rules; although they should be enabled, they don’t actually allow access! Run Allow a Program Through Windows Firewall and grant access to C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe
