Right-click on 'Sites' in IIS Manager and select 'Add FTP Site…' The next step is to create the actual FTP site in IIS.To enable FTP, make sure you enable the 'FTP Server' role services for your IIS role:.Add a TCP endpoint to your VM in the management portal with public and private port 80.Add the 'Web Server (IIS)' role to the server.When you're in, you need to configure IIS.Once the machine has booted, you can RDP into it via the connect option at the bottom of the management portal.I needed a Windows machine with a SQL Server database so I chose 'Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Evaluation Edition' from the available templates.
