Few questions..
“Import-Module Webadministration” this shouldn’t be required if all the IIS/FTP roles are installed, is that correct?

Also, I’m assuming I need to previously declare the variables:$FTPUserDir, $FTPUsername, $LogDir?

Finally, how to I specify the bindings, SSL setting, and authentication for the FTP in Powershell?

Sorry, if these are stupid questions, kind of a Powershell newbie.

Hello Derek,

You need to use “Import-Module” unless you don’t use PowerShell v3. In Powershell v2, you need to import a module if you want to use it in that Powershell session. But that changed in Powershell v3 because it has autoloading module feature.

You may need to install “IIS Management Scripts” in IIS role to use WebAdministration.

Yes, you need to declare that variables. Also you can make this as function like:

function create-ftpsite
{
param ($FTPUsername, $FTPUserDir, $LogDir)

New-Item IIS:\Sites\”Default FTP Site”\$FTPUserDir\$FTPUsername -Type VirtualDirectory -PhysicalPath “$LogDir”
}

So simply you can use:

create-ftpsite -ftpusername “yusufozturk” -FTPUserdir “yusufozturk” -Logdir “C:\ftp\logs”

Hope this helps.

Yusuf.
