Moving Uniform Server folder UniServerZ and all its content to a different location the ftp root path is updated to match the new location.
You can create Vhosts using UniController and manually assign ftp users and paths to the Vhost root folders. So long as the ftp root paths are within folder UniServerZ paths will automatically update when moving the servers. Note: Paths outside of UniServerZ are not portable and require manually updating.
Root paths configured in the FileZilla configuration file are automatically updated. The FileZilla control application is design to be essentially a click and go application. A pre-configured user has been implemented, for security you need only change the user password.
A single button control; starts and stops the FileZilla server. You can access the FileZilla Interface with a single button click Start Interface , this interface provides full configuration of the FileZilla server. Uniform Server FileZilla Controller runs the server as a standard program. When using FZ Controller nothing is installed to your operating system's registry.
This is ideal for development, especially when running from a USB memory stick, since you do not have to perform anything special to stop or remove the server. Before installing and running FileZilla as a service ensure it is properly configured by running it as a standard program explained above. Note running as a service adds data to the Windows registry, the server is no-longer portable.
Benefit of running as a service, server automatically starts when the host PC re-starts. The following is a step-by-step guide for configuring and running a stand-alone FTP server. Before continuing create two test files test1. As stated above and repeated here UniServer FileZilla Controller runs the server as a standard program. Pre-configured User Change user name: If desired enter a new user name, generally no need to change this. Change user password: Although optional! Change Port: Standard port is 21, preferably do not change this.
Save chages: Click this button to save new configuration changes. Locate the file UniFzController. Change the user password and click "Save changes" button.
Click Start FZ Server button. Starts the FileZilla server If challenged by your firewall, allow access. Button toggles state displaying Stop FTP server. Indicator changes from red to green indicating server is running. Quick Test : Start your browser. Run the quick test and confirm the expected results. Note : Although you can delete the pre-configured user it is recommended to leave it.
Once the password has been changed it is save to use. Assuming you are running the server on your local machine you can quickly test the account. Type the following into your browser:. Neither of the above is very easy on the eye an alternative is to get each user to add a memorable name to their hosts file.
For example under localhost add a line as shown below:. They must substitute On-line help : Testing an FTP server for online access can be problematic however there are two useful online services that can help:. Ports : If you have a direct Internet connection there should be no problems with access. However if you are using a router you need to forward ports 20 and 21 every router is different hence pay a visit to PortForwrd for detailed instructions.
You may be unlucky and have a service provider that blocks the common FTP ports. In this event try changing the ports. Do not allow your firewall to block Internet access otherwise you will need to manually enable access. Happy Learning!!
