The FTP Server software can be loaded from the NetWare® server using the following command:
nwftpd
The server takes the default configuration file SYS:/ETC/FTPSERV.CFG. On installation, this configuration file has all the parameters, commented, with their default values.
To start the NetWare FTP Server software with a different configuration file (for example, MYCONFIG.CFG), place the file in the SYS:/ETC directory and enter the following at the command line:
nwftpd -c myconfig.cfg
NOTE: If there is any change in the .CFG file, nwftpd should be reloaded.
To create an anonymous user, enter
nwftpd -a [-c Configfile]
The server takes the anonymous user home directory from the configuration file and displays it on the screen with the option to modify the directory.
NOTE: The -a option modifies the configuration file for anonymous user access. For this change to take place, reload nwftpd.
To load the Active Sessions Display utility, enter
ftpstat [-p port number]
The server takes a port number that the HTTP browser should connect to in order to view the NetWare FTP active sessions. The default port is 2500.
