The FTP Manager is the heart of everything having to do with FTP (File Transfer Protocol). All FTP functions are located here, including FTP accounts, anonymous FTP, FTP messages and session controls. Each one of these sections has a specific function.

FTP Accounts

In this section of the FTP Manager, users can manage, delete and create FTP accounts. Users have the option to delete or change the password for each account. At the bottom of this section are links to each user's FTP log files.

Creating an account is very simple.

Login: Enter the same username as that used to access the server.

Password: Enter the same password as that used to access the server. This may be changed.

Directory: This is the directory in which the user’s files will reside on the server and also the directory they will be granted FTP access to. This will also work with sub-domain name accounts.

Setup Anonymous FTP Access

In this section users have the ability to setup anonymous ftp access to view files on the anonymous FTP server. They also have the option to allow users to upload files to the anonymous FTP server. Users will not have the ability to delete, rename, or edit any files, only upload.

Anonymous FTP Message

The Anonymous FTP Message section is for users to setup the message that is displayed within the user's FTP manager when they login to the server. Simply type the message that should be displayed in the box available and hit save message, it’s that simple.

FTP Session Control

This allows the user to view the current FTP accounts that are logged in and disconnect them if needed or wanted. It will display the type of FTP server that the server uses, the user that is logged in, and their IP address. The user’s login time is also displayed here.

Additional instructions on using FTP clients is available in this knowledgebase.
