FTP site of IIS Server 7.5 was stopped. When I tried to start the FTP Site, I got this error “FTP sites cannot be started unless the Microsoft FTP Server (FTPSVC) is running. The service is currently stopped.”
Its because FTP site is dependent on “Microsoft FTP Service“. FTP transfer wont work if this windows service stops running.
To start it:-
- Just go to Services window (Run >> Services.msc)
- Start Microsoft FTP Service.
