Configuring an FTP site in nginx-1.17.3.

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 ).

 

Ohh ok, so this is on a Windows operating system. I am not too familiar with that, but doesn't sound like the terminology makes much sense on a Linux system so there must be different word usage and meaning between the operating systems. I'd suggest posting on the windows forums and see what they can offer. Maybe this would help though:

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.
