Installing WS_FTP Server and
Notification Server

---

You must log on to the Windows system as a system administrator in order to install the WS_FTP Server software.

If you purchased WS_FTP Server online, install it by double-clicking the file you downloaded and following the prompts on your screen.

To install the software from the CD:

Insert the WS_FTP Server disk into a disk drive. If the welcome screen does not appear:

1. Click the Start button and select Run.
2. Enter the drive letter of your CD ROM drive followed by autorun.exe. For example, d:autorun.exe
3. Follow the instructions on your screen. The install screens will show the three following components:

   The Ipswitch Notifications Server is required if you want WS_FTP Server to send a notification message via SMS, e-mail, or pager.

   • Ipswitch WS_FTP Server and Server Manager
   • Ipswitch WS_FTP Server Manager
   • Ipswitch Notification Server (which includes the Notifications Server Manager)

You can install in the following ways:

• Install the WS_FTP Server and WS_FTP Server Manager, and the Notifications Server on the same PC.
• Install the WS_FTP Server and WS_FTP Server Manager on one PC and the
  Notifications Server on another PC. This will offload the processing of notifications from the WS_FTP server system.
• Install just the WS_FTP Server Manager on a remote PC and use it to remotely manage the WS_FTP Server.
