Connecting to the WS_FTP Server
- Start the WS_FTP Server Manager.
- In the left pane, select WS_FTP Servers.
- In the right panel, click Connect. The Logon dialog box appears.
- In the IP Address box, enter the IP address of the host on which the FTP server is installed. (Note that you can connect to the server from the same host on which it is installed.)
- In the Server port box, if your WS_FTP Server is not using port 21, change the port number to be assigned to the port.
- Enter your User ID and Password. You must be a Host Administrator to access a particular FTP host, or a System Administrator to access all FTP hosts.
- Click Use SSL to make a secure connection to the server.
- Click OK. The Server Manager connects to the FTP server.
In the left pane, you will see the IP Address of the FTP server. Select the IP Address and expand it to show the FTP hosts on the FTP server. You can make changes to FTP hosts, users, and folders (your access to FTP hosts and users depends on whether you are the System Administrator or the Host Administrator - see user properties for more information).
For the most part, you can use the same Server Manager functions that you can use if you were on the local system, but note the following differences:
- You cannot stop or start the server.
- Any changes you make remotely occur immediately, without stopping and restarting the server (except the server port).
- You can change the server port, but it does not take effect until the server is restarted.
- After making changes remotely, select Refresh from the View menu (or press F5) to make the changes also appear under the Local System.
Click Disconnect to end the session and close the Server Manager.
