2.2 Configuring by Using iManager

You can use the iManager management utility that NetWare 6.5 provides to configure the NetWare FTP Server.

NOTE:The FTP Server iManager snap-in does not work in the Novell Remote Manager browser.

2.2.1 Installing FTP in iManager

Meet the following requirements for the FTP Admin to be installed in iManager.

  • Apache Web Server is selected during the NetWare 6.5 install.

  • iManager 2.7 is selected during the NetWare 6.5 install.

    For more information about installing iManager 2.7, refer to the Novell iManager 2.7 Installation Guide.

    To go to FTP plug-in, select Infrastructure category, then click File Protocols > FTP to launch the FTP Server Administration page. The links under Infrastructure category and under All categories refer to same plug-in object on the server.

2.2.2 Configuring FTP Server Settings

  1. In iManager, click the Infrastructure category and click File Protocols > FTP to launch the FTP Server Administration page.

    In iManager 2.7, plug-ins are segregated based on categories they belong to. The FTP plug-in can be located in the Infrastructure category as well as in All categories, because the FTP link in both Infrastructure and All categories points to the same FTP Server Administration page.

  2. Click the Object selector to select the server where you will administer the FTP Server.

  3. (Optional) Click Monitor Active FTP Sessions to view the number of active FTP instances and instance details such as IP address, port number, peak bandwidth, and the location of the configuration file.

    Use this section to select the instance that you want to configure, start, or stop. You can also use it to add or delete instances.

  5. Click the instance for which you want to configure the parameters.

    The General, User, Security, and Log tabs, are where you configure the parameters.

  6. Select the General tab to modify the FTP General parameters.
