Setup Overview
Here is an overview of the basic steps for setting up FTP service.
Step 1: Before you begin
For issues to keep in mind when you set up FTP service, read “Before Setting Up FTP
Service” on page 12 3.
Step 2: Turn on FTP service
Before conguring FTP service, FTP must be turned on. See “Turning On FTP
Service” on page 12 3.
Step 3: Congure FTP General settings
General settings enable you to specify the number of authenticated and anonymous
users that can connect to the server, limit the number of login attempts, and provide
an administrator address. See “Conguring FTP General Settings” on page 12 4 .
Step 4: Congure FTP Messages settings
Messages settings enable you to display banner and welcome messages, set the
number of login attempts, and provide an administrator address. See “Conguring FTP
Greeting Messages” on page 126.
Step 5: Congure FTP Logging settings
Logging settings enable you to specify the FTP-related events you want to log for
authenticated and anonymous users. See “Conguring FTP Logging Settings” on
page 129.
Step 6: Congure FTP Advanced settings
Advanced settings enable you to change the FTP root and choose which items users
can see. See “Conguring FTP Advanced Settings” on page 13 0 .
Step 7: Create an uploads folder for anonymous users
If you enabled anonymous access in Step 2, you might want to create a folder for
anonymous users to upload les. The folder must be named “uploads.” It is not a share
point but must have correct access privileges. See “Creating an FTP Uploads Folder for
Anonymous Users” on page 13 2 .
Step 8: Create share points and share them using FTP
Use the Sharing service of Server Admin to specify the share points that you want to
make available through FTP. You must explicitly congure a share point to use FTP so
that FTP users can access the share point. See “Creating a Share Point” on page 36 and
“Changing FTP Settings for a Share Point” on page 42.
Step 9: Start FTP service
After you congure FTP service, start the service to make it available. See “Starting FTP
Service” on page 131.
