Now we need to take a look at user permissions relating to the folder. The home folder is the folder that is automatically listed when the user logs in.
If you select only one folder that folder will be automatically set as the home folder for the user. For the sake of security, it is better to create a folder specifically for sharing via FTP. Go to the Shared folders section and click the Add button to select a folder from your computer. A user account requires at least one shared folder. The next step is to select a shared folder. Tick the password box to add a password for the user. Select the Users option from the Edit menu.Ĭlick on the Add button to add a new user.
Now we can get to the task of adding a user. You can ignore this since we are connecting to the FTP server only from the local network. You might see a warning about being behind a NAT router and about FTP over TLS not being enabled. A password is required if you want to enable remote administration of the server. However, if you wish to set a password you can do so by connecting using the blank password first and then going to Edit ➾ Settings ➾ Filezilla Server Options. This being the case, a blank password does not pose any real security risk. That is both the Service and the Server interface must be running on the same computer, as in our case. It has nothing to do with an actual FTP connection.īy default, administrative connections are permitted only from the localhost. Please note that this connection is purely meant for administering the server.
It can also be started manually by clicking on the Filezilla server interface icon from the Desktop or the Start menu.Ĭlick on the connect button to establish a connection between the Filezilla server interface and the Filezilla service. Once the installation is complete the Filezilla server interface will start automatically. For everything else, just accept the defaults.
