    How do you configure a File Transfer Protocol ( FTP ) site in nginx-1.17.3?
    Thank you.

    What is a FTP site? Nginx serves as a web server or reverse proxy and wouldn't have anything to do with the file transfer protocol.

    SolaDrive, in the Internet Information Services ( IIS ) 10 ( in Microsoft Windows 10 ) web server, one can configure a file transfer protocol ( FTP ) site, and a private e-mail server, in addition to typical web sites. I currently have all three types of sites configured in IIS 10 on my personal computer system. Last year, I found some information regarding configuring FTP sites in nginx-1.17.3, but it is rather involved. I posted my original question to this forum to get a second opinion ( to see if there is a simpler solution ).

    Nginx is not an FTP server. I Windows 10 and Windows Server you would just need to enable the File Transfer Protocol.
    Here is a link to a tutorial.
