Chapter 5 FTP Service 81
Setup Overview
Here is an overview of the basic steps for setting up FTP service.
Step 1: Before you begin
Read “Before Setting Up FTP Service” on page 81 for issues you should keep in mind
when you set up FTP service.
Step 2: Configure FTP General settings
The General settings let you display banner and welcome messages, set the number of
login attempts, and provide an administrator email address. See “Configuring General
Settings” on page 83.
Step 3: Configure FTP Messages settings
The Access settings let you specify the number of authenticated and anonymous users
that can connect to the server. See “Changing the Greeting Messages” on page 84.
Step 4: Configure FTP Logging settings
The Logging settings let you specify the FTP-related events you want to log for
authenticated and anonymous users. See “Choosing Logging Options” on page 84.
Step 5: Configure FTP Advanced settings
The Advanced settings let you change the FTP root and choose which items user can
see. See “Changing Advanced Settings” on page 85.
Step 6: Create an “uploads” folder for anonymous users (optional)
If you enabled anonymous access in Step 2, you may want to create a folder for
anonymous users to upload files. The folder must be named “uploads.” It is not a share
point, but must have appropriate access privileges. See “Creating an Uploads Folder for
Anonymous Users” on page 85.
Step 7: Create share points and share them using FTP
Use the Sharing module of Workgroup Manager to specify the share points that you
want to make available through FTP. You must explicitly configure a share point to use
FTP in order for FTP users to be able to access the share point. See “Creating a Share
Point” on page 33 and “Changing FTP Settings for a Share Point” on page 37.
Step 8: Start FTP service
After you have configured FTP, start the service to make it available. See “Starting FTP
Service” on page 85.
Before Setting Up FTP Service
Consider the type of information you need to share and who your clients are when
determining whether to offer FTP service. FTP works well when you want to transfer
large files such as applications and databases. In addition, if you want to allow guest
(anonymous) users to download files, FTP is a secure way to provide this service.
