Hello and welcome to Red Stapler again!
This video we'll talk about how to set
up a simple FTP server with Filezilla
First you need to download the FileZilla Server
you'll get a installer like this
Just move forward with the standard setting
I'm going to install the FileZilla as a service
so the server will up when I start the PC and
start if any user log on to this
computer.
Now the first step is to connect to your FTP server you'll see a
warning that I'm behind a router
This will be OK if I plan to use the FTP server
internally but if you want your FTP
server to be accessable externally you will
need to have your PC with static IP
address or you need to do the port
forwarding with the router. But that's
not a scope of this video so I'm going
to move forward with this setting
Now your server is ready
Isn't that easy? The first step is to add
the user to be allowed to access this
FTP server so we're going to the menu
and select the user. Click Add and
name the user you want to have the access to
this FTP server
Click the password box and enter the
password you want to set to this user
Next is share folder. You need to limit
the access to the directory for
this user. So i'm going to create an FTP
server and create a folder with the
user's name. We want the user to be
accessible to only this folder only
click Add and browse the folder we just created
That's it
Now we are going to try access the FTP
server with the user we just created
The default port of the ftp is 21
but we can change that if you like
Okay you see that we have connected
to the server. Let's try creating some
file to test our access. Now you see that
I've got denied because I cannot create
the directory. We need to change the user
access permission setting
I'll just click Write, Delete, Append, Create
Click OK. Now we have changed the
user permission to be able to create a
file and directory
let's try again
Now let's see if all file has been placed successfully
So that's it!
Our FTP server is ready but you should
know that this is just a quick tutorial
If you want your FTP server to be more
secure and usable you need to do further
customization such as changing port
config the autoban to prevent
multiple attempts to logon and etc
We'll talk about that in the next video
