FTP Server

FTP Server

There is also an FTP server in Net Tools:

Another convenient tool for sharing files on a local network.

Features

• Simple user management with individual home directory
• Anonymous account with read-only or write access
• Multi-column transaction traces
• Advanced network settings: connection timeout, server threading, etc.

What this tool does not do

• SSL support
• Virtual directories
• Individual or advanced access rights: all non-anonymous users have write access to their home directory; the anonymous user can have read-only or write access to his home directory. That's all.

Usage

You must first create users before starting the FTP server. To do so, simply click the "New User..." button and fill in the form:

• Give a login
• Give a password. It is optional: users may have no password.
• Give the home directory of the user. This the directory where users will log in. Logged in users cannot go the parent directories of this home directory.

If you want to create an anonymous account, click "Anonymous User...":

• The login is automatically "anonymous"
• Give the home directory of the anonymous user. By default, it is a read-only access but you can decide that the anonymous user can write into this home directory.

Note: logins are unique. If you create a standard user whose login is "anonymous" then you cannot create an anonymous user because the login of the anonymous user is also "anonymous".
