The following sections describe how to congure these settings, and how to start FTP

Conguring FTP General Settings
You can use the General settings to limit the number of login attempts, provide an
administrator address, and limit the number and type of users.

2 Click the triangle at the left of the server.
The list of services appears.
3 From the expanded Servers list, select FTP.
4 Click Settings, then click General.
5 To indicate the number of times users can try to connect before they are disconnected,
enter a number in “Disconnect client after __ login failures.”
6 To provide a contact for your users, enter a mail address in the “FTP administrator email
address” eld.
7 From the Authentication pop-up menu, choose an authentication method.
8 To limit the number of authenticated users who can connect to your server at the
same time, enter a number in the “Allow a maximum of __ authenticated users” eld.
Authenticated users have accounts on the server. You can view or add them using the
Accounts module of Workgroup Manager.

Important: Before selecting this option, review the privileges assigned to your

a password to log in, but they are prompted to enter their mail addresses.
