Sounds like a great deal ($10/mo). If I could find such a deal or even more expensive to "rent" a Windows 2016 or Windows 2019 VM, it would be very helpful.
I simply don't have time to test my ASP.NET on Linux. And it is not applicable to my vertical market; 100% of my customers run MS servers.
>My first choice for a test server is a $10/mo LInux server on someone else's network. Won't run IIS, of course, but it turns out there's an alternative: run Asp.Net Core on Linux and serve it up with nginix.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/linux-nginx?view=aspnetcore-3.1, If some bad actor messes it up, who cares?. Not that I'm running .Net in any form, of course. But I do have a $10/mo Linux test server for my testing (Lianja of course).

>>IMO more the other way around: If you have a Box in a DeMilitarized Zone, accessing that server from both sides only via FTP is safer than having HTTPS server there as well.

>>If you need to have HTTPS server running, yes probably minimally safer if disabled FTP(S) as there is HTTP get and set for files - dunno how much is mapped to identical OS routines in deeper OS levels.

>>>I am enabling IIS on a Windows 10 computer. When adding Internet Information Services I have the branch FTP Server which consists of FTP Extensibility and FTP Service.
>>>I am trying to decide if I need these on my Windows 10. I will use this PC for developing and testing ASP.NET app.
>>>I read online that FTP server is used for uploading and downloading from anywhere to your computer.
