Title

Windows Server 2025 must not have the Microsoft FTP service installed unless required by the organization.

Control

If the server has the role of an FTP server, this is not applicable. Open PowerShell. Enter "Get-WindowsFeature | Where Name -eq Web-Ftp-Service". If "Installed State" is "Installed", this is a finding. An Installed State of "Available" or "Removed" is not a finding. If the system has the role of an FTP server, this must be documented with the information system security officer (ISSO).

Discussion

Unnecessary services increase the attack surface of a system. Some of these services may not support required levels of authentication or encryption.

Fix

Uninstall the "FTP Server" role. Start Server Manager. Select the server with the role. Scroll down to "ROLES AND FEATURES" in the right pane. Select "Remove Roles and Features" from the drop-down "TASKS" list. Select the appropriate server on the "Server Selection" page and click "Next". Deselect "FTP Server" under "Web Server (IIS)" on the "Roles" page. Click "Next" and "Remove" as prompted.
