I've made an FTP site through IIS using the DNS Name I was given when I signed up, but I want to set up multiple FTP sites on the same virtual server. How can I do this?
Also, the one FTP site I set up can't be connected to through anything other than an FTP client - I can't connect via IE / Chrome or Windows Explorer.
There is no multiple FTP account support for Azure App Service (formerly known as Azure Websites)
I am able to use IE to FTP to my site. what error do you see? Make sure you enter your credential and not login as anonymous user.

We are needing to see the FTP transfer logs for one of our azure web sites.
Is this possible?
Is it possible to access the FTP deployment site logs for my account
I can't find any way to do it. Normally in IIS, we can install FTP Extensibility and enable the FTP transfer log through FTP Logging button.
After remote administration of Windows Azure Websites using IIS Manager, I can't find the FTP Logging button. We can only find some buttons as following.
Unfortunately, in Azure App Service, the FTP logs are not exposed to the end users. The access is restricted to Microsoft.

I created few web applications for the one app service plan. For all these apps I am seeing one FTP url. Issue is that when I go to the URL, I can see one "Site/wwwroot" folder which only shows one application.
Isn't is possible to access FTP of other web applications?
All applications works fine. I don't understand how this FTP is being created. If it's showing just one application in FTP, what criteria is based on that? I am seeing the 1st application based on the alphabetical order.
The FTP Url is same for all the sites in a stamp and will be same even if you create multiple app hosting plans as long as the hosting plans are in the same stamp. A stamp is a collection of servers and roles in a particular datacenter.
So how azure connects to the right site - the distinction here happens when you provide the user name for the site that you are trying to connect. The user name has the form sitename\$sitename when using publish credentials and has the form sitename\username when using deployment credentials and this name is used by app service to identify which site you are connecting to.
http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/azure-web-sites-ftp-credentials has more details.
Also read https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Deployment-credentials to understand difference between the two kind of credentials.
So just specify credentials in this way and you can connect to your sites using ftp.
Hope this helps
I have a Win 2012 server with IIS 8 running on that. Also installed Management Service with Remote Access allowed.
Another admin-user account is used to set up few default websites and now when I login to the same server using my admin-user account, I cannot see anything in the IIS.
I have tried connecting to server as localhost and with computer name as well but not allowing me to connect.
Any help on this would be great.
Found the issue -
There is a firewall implemented for the domain users to access. And when I tried to login as an Admin who is not permitted by firewall, I am just able to access the machine and internally my IIS component is not able to connect with the localhost or local server.
I'm new to Azure and have set up an Asure web site which will connect to a SOLR instance on an Azure VM. The web site cannot communicate with SOLR (port 8080) unless I create an endpoint. In order to create an endpoint I need to provide an internal and external port, however I do not want to allow external/remote access to SOLR, other than from the web site itself. Can anyone tell me how I should allow the web site to communicate with my VM, without making the VM publicly accessible?
Thank you,
JP
As #hhaggan stated, you cannot create a virtual network connection, or secure an endpoint, from Web Sites to a Virtual Machine. One option to consider is the use of SSL+certificate to secure the endpoint.
If you instead deploy your web application to a web role (in a cloud service) or a virtual machine, you can then take advantage of a brand new feature called Endpoint ACL. In essence, you can whitelist / blacklist a set of IP address ranges that may access your SOLR external endpoint. You can read about ACL'd endpoints, and how to configure them, here.
Now: You might be asking yourself why this doesn't work with Web Sites. That's because Web Sites runs on a server farm, and sites don't get unique IP addresses (unlike Cloud Services).
if you are talking about Windows Azure Websites, I am not sure if this can be done but if you are talking about Web roles in Windows Azure Cloud service, here is something that I hope it can be beneficial.

you might also would like to have a look on this http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/services/virtual-network/ I don't think you will need it but I am just sharing it with you, it is for WIndows Azure Virtual Network.
let me know if this solved your problems or if you need anything else.
I have 2 web sites in my Azure account and I would like to access the second one via FTP, however, when I load up the FTP site I am getting the FTP area for the first site and I cannot see any data for my second site.
My first site is a straightforward web site, but the second is an Orchard template. I was expecting to see the Orchard folder structure when I accessed the FTP area but seems only the first site is accessible via FTP.
I have looked at other threads about setting up your own FTP but I would like to avoid doing that until it is absolutely necessary.
So my question: Does anyone know if the Orchard website, generated by Azure, is accessible via FTP, or to get access can I safely reset the credentials from the dashboard on the second website so it has its own FTP area via an individual set of credentials?
I believe the username you use for FTP should be <web site name>\<username>, so you should already have different credentials for the two sites. Can you confirm you're using the right credentials to try to access the Orchard site? Check the "deployment user" on the right-hand side in the portal and make sure you're using that.
