    I setup a new windows 2012 R2 Datacenter server with 2 ip addresses to host an internal website.

    I followed the following instructions listed on this link.
    https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_on_Microsoft_IIS

    I created a new site on my server to a new folder “C:\sites\newsletter\” and copied all of the WordPress files into there. I changed the bindings on this website to point to my 2nd ip address. I also gave iis_iusrs modify control to “c:\sites\newsletter\” and all folders and files under that. To be safe I also made iis_iusrs the owner of these files and folders.

    The site opens fine, I can log into admin console but when I try to add a new theme or plugin it asks for ftp information.

    I have done some web searches but have came up empty.
