The external IP address should be the Virtual IP address you can find in the Azure Management portal.configure the port range and external IP address for passive data connections.For this to work, we need to tell the IIS FTP server the port range it can use for data connections and we need to add endpoints to the VM that correspond to this port range. For active FTP you need to allow access to ports 21 (FTP command port) and 20 (FTP data port) so you need to add two endpoints to your VM.Open a command prompt, type ftp 127.0.0.1 and login

You should now be able to access the FTP site from within the VM.

And finally specify who should have access to the FTP site.

Specify the name and the local path for the site:.

Right-click on 'Sites' in IIS Manager and select 'Add FTP Site…'

The next step is to create the actual FTP site in IIS.

To enable FTP, make sure you enable the 'FTP Server' role services for your IIS role:.

Add a TCP endpoint to your VM in the management portal with public and private port 80.

Add the 'Web Server (IIS)' role to the server.

When you're in, you need to configure IIS.

Once the machine has booted, you can RDP into it via the connect option at the bottom of the management portal.

I needed a Windows machine with a SQL Server database so I chose 'Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Evaluation Edition' from the available templates. First of all, you need a virtual machine.There's a great walkthrough from July 2012 ' Hosting FTP on IIS 7.5 in a Windows Azure VM' by Ronald Wildenberg about this.
