The use of Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2 as an FTP server requires the installation of IIS. If IIS is not installed in the computer you are using, you will need to install the version of IIS for the operating system you are using before entering these settings. For installation procedures, see the manuals provided with your operating system.
User authentication for access to FTP servers is performed using the local account database of Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2 used as the FTP server.
Therefore, it is not possible to use the account of a domain user registered in Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2 to send data directly from the machine to FTP servers in other domains.
