On the final installation dialog, choose whether you want the server admin window to launch automatically when the current Windows user logs on, when any user logs on, or if it should be started manually. The first time you run the admin interface, it will ask you for the server’s address and port. Since the server is running on your PC-the same one the admin interface is running on-its address is localhost, or 127.0.0.1. The default port is 14147 If this is the only FTP server you’ll be administering (most likely it is), check off the “Always connect to this server” box to bypass this dialog in the future. To set up a server user, in the Edit menu choose Users. In the Users dialog on the right hand side, hit the Add button to create a new user and assign a password. Then, on the left side, select “ Shared Folders” to set what folders that user will have access to on your server. If you want to grant several users access to your server all with the same rights and directory access, instead of creating each one individually, set up a user group.Notice you can create file access permissions for each user: grant read-only rights (download only), write rights (to upload files), and whether or not the user can delete files or create directories, too.Here I’ve created a user named Miguel and granted read,Write, Delete and create Permission to the C:/Documents and Settings/Miguel/Desktop/FTP files directory. Then, if you move your music directory you only have to edit the group, not each user in it.įor example, if you’re sharing your Personal Videos directory with friends, make a user group called “my fans” with access to the correct directory and add users to that group, which automatically gives them those rights.
