Setting Up FTP Hosts
To use the WS_FTP Server with a single FTP host, the process is simple - the FTP host uses the Internet hostname and IP address of the host on which you are installing. To add additional FTP hosts to the same system, you can use the virtual host function.
For each FTP host you add, you need to consider the following:
- To create FTP user accounts, choose whether you will create your own user database, or let the Server Manager use user accounts from an existing Windows NT, IMail Server user database on your PC, or external (ODBC) database.
- By default, each user on the FTP host will have a folder (with the same name as their User ID) for uploading and downloading files and folders.
- You can set an option to determine where the user is placed in the file system when they log on: either in their own folder or in the top directory of the FTP host.
- Whether you want to provide anonymous access to the FTP host. If you provide anonymous access, any user can log on to the FTP host with a username of anonymous or ftp and a password that specifies their e-mail address (or no password). When a user logs on anonymously, they are placed in the top directory of the FTP host. Anonymous users can access any folders for which you have granted permissions to anonymous.
The following sections describe how to add FTP hosts, and how to set options for a host (such as allowing anonymous access and setting maximum concurrent users).
