I setup a ftp server on windows 2008 r2. it is dependent on IIS v7

I can log in remotely anonynomously which is the goal. However I cannot upload nor browse the directories like upload which is in the physical directory

I used this as a guide http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/321/configure-ftp-with-iis-70-manager-authentication/

Did you double check both authentication methods and NTFS security settings in the related directory? Did you enable directory browsing?

Ftp – Trouble configuring firewall for FTP on Windows Server 2008 R2

You need to allow the ftp server through the firewall. The default entry in the firewall is incorrect. Assuming you already have the correct ports open, you also need to do the following:

Search for 'firewall' in the start menu search
Click on 'Allow a program through Windows Firewall'
There is a default entry for 'FTP Server', however this is NOT the one you need. In fact, if you have a look at the windows service for the FTP server, it is invoked via svchost.exe. Click on the 'Allow another program...' button, and enter C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe.
Once you have added this entry, tick the checkbox for both Home/Work and Public profiles.

This will allow you to successfully use the FTP server with the firewall turned on.
