Fixing the IPv6 address configuration for FTP sites

Last published : Aug 05, 2026
When you add an FTP site using the Add FTP Site wizard, the IPv6 address is not enclosed in brackets by default. The VCS IIS Configuration Wizard requires the IPv6 addresses enclosed in square brackets format to correctly configure the FTP site in the cluster.
  1. From the IIS Manager, right-click the FTP site name and click Bindings.
  2. In the Site Bindings dialog box, select the FTP site and click Edit.
  3. In the Edit Site Binding dialog box, type square brackets around the IPv6 address displayed in the IP address field.
For example, the IPv6 address should display as [2001:Db8:0:10:828:1871:cd8:5c0f].
  1. Click OK and then click Close.
