FTP access - Filezilla/Server 2012

Hi all, i need to allow users to click on files from on FTP server (using filezilla and Server 2012) i created an anonymous account, but it doesnt load any files in the web browser.

Also, i want them to view files by HTTP also, how can i accomplish that?

In IIS, in the Web site, you need to enable 'Directory Browsing' which will show files as a list in a web browsing and allow users to open files over the web.

Thanks, I will do that!

What do we do for FTP access solely? I created an anonymous user already
You allow every user by his/her userid to upload files with his unique userid.
Create one Windows Uploaders Group which has  write access to Filezilla upload folder and add userids to that uploader group.

The way to create non-personal function userids solely for uploading files is bad idea because you loose control who did what strange upload and deleted wrong files.
