Thank you ... can I do that via IIS?<br><br>
</div>


<div>
What about using Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive? &nbsp;That would be so much easier in many ways.<br><br>Or you can put a simple PHP or .NET page up that has a file upload form with a button and goes to your server. Doing this exposes your own server though. &nbsp;<br><br>Back to using the drive suggestions, these are things most everybody uses on a regular basis. We have them integrated to both desktop and mobile devices.<br><br>If you want to stick with your own server, I said put up a simple PHP page, but as you go down that road, it can be more complex especially if you want to add a password or know who is uploading what. You can install a vaniall Wordpress site and use a plug in like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/" rel="ugc">https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/</a> or <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/drag-and-drop-multiple-file-upload-contact-form-7/" rel="ugc">https://wordpress.org/plugins/drag-and-drop-multiple-file-upload-contact-form-7/</a>&nbsp; I just don't like the idea of exposing an internal server. There are people that have nothing better to do than find holes or overload traffic. &nbsp;You can get good, secure hosting for $10 to $30 per month. That is another battle of what is best, but they are out there.&nbsp;

We're a small business running several windows 2019 servers.   We host are own FTP site which we publish a read only version of one of our shares for contractors outside our network.  Now that FTP no longer working with Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE going away next year; it seems it is time to replace FTP.   Is there something else I could setup via IIS that would work in a similar matter?

Replacing FTP

The File Transfer Program (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between a client and server on a computer network. Built on a client-server model architecture, it separates control and data connections between the client and the server. Users may access the server through a sign-in protocol, typically in the form of a username and password.
