How to build your own private cloud disk without spending a penny!

What is the use of setting up your own FTP first? If you set up a server on your own computer, on any other computer can access, upload, download the files on their own computer, the equivalent of their own private cloud disk, today teach you to use serv-u do not send a penny to build their own private cloud disk

After starting the Serv-u Adminisrator, the interface, the first look at the "local server" This project, there is an option is "Automatic Start (System service)", when selected, serv-u to register themselves as a system service, boot automatically run, and the user is not logged in the case began to run.

Here's how to run the Serv-u, look at the root directory after installation, there are several files: ServUAdmin.exe is a configuration management tool, ServUTray.exe is the tool that hosts the system tray, ServUDaemon.exe is the daemon that runs in serv-u background. As long as ServUDaemon.exe is running, FTP is already running, the other two programs are just tools, and sometimes serv-u run-time system tray is nothing, but others can still log in to your FTP, because ServUDaemon.exe in the background running.

Here are some settings, note that the settings here are global settings, the maximum upload download speed you set here and the number of users are limited to the following domain or user settings, that is, even if the user set the speed is very large, the actual will not exceed the value set here. These settings are relatively easy, you can look at the .... :)

The "activity" here is a monitor that can see the users connected to your FTP and their activities. Note that the "automatic reload" here, in fact, is the meaning of automatic refresh, the following monitoring content is automatically updated every time.

OK, here we create a new domain, where the domain is what use, if your machine has two network cards, but also to different two network segments to provide FTP services, it is here to build several different domains have a role ...

The new domain will start as a wizard, first fill in your IP

Then is the domain name, if you are the intranet, or no domain name, then just fill in the domain name or simply fill in the IP on the line.

The port number is the default of 21, of course, you can use the other to increase concealment .... :)

Then choose where the configuration file for this domain is placed, the average user does not have much to save in the INI file is OK, so back up is also more convenient.

Confirm that the new domain is built, the newly built domain is offline, click "Put the domain online", this domain can be accessed.

This is just to get the FTP server to work, but the user is still unable to log in, because the user has not been created, the following is the FTP server to create users.

Adding a user is also started as a wizard, where the user name is filled in

Then is the password, here is clear text display, do not confirm, enter once OK

uploading ... Cancel

Then choose a home directory that will be entered when the user logs in

Serv-u will ask whether to lock the user in the home directory, that is, to allow only the user access to the home directory and subdirectories, for security, this option is necessary.

After creating the user to set the user, the settings here inherit the global settings and the domain settings, that is, the global settings and the domain settings have a limited effect here. These settings are also very simple, not much to say, more than try to know. If you have more users, you can also create groups, and users will inherit the group's settings and permissions after they add the user to the group in the same way that they add them. Here's how to make IP restrictions and how to add virtual directories, as well as set personalized welcome information.

IP restrictions can be set in the domain settings, or can be set in the user settings, the setting method is the same, only the scope of a large one small. IP access rules are applied from the top down to the next. For example, my FTP address is 172.18.10.12 (intranet), I want to let this network segment and 172.18.15.0/24 access, other addresses except 172.18.11.200 can access all the other outside the ban. In addition, 172.18.10.123 is forbidden in this section of the network. You can set this: 1. First *.*.*.* all prohibitions, that is, no one is allowed to connect. The IP address here can use a wildcard character, * represents any number,? represents a digit ... 2. Allow 172.18.10.* connection, allow 172.18.15.* connection 3. Allow 172.18.11.200 connection 4. Disable 172.18.10.123 connection settings.

The virtual directory is the more important thing, if it is impossible to put everything in a directory, then the use of virtual directory can also make users look in a directory, it is more convenient. The virtual directory is set in the settings of the domain. There are two places to add, one is a virtual path mapping, and the other is a link, what are the differences between the two? The former is what we call the virtual directory, is to map a directory to the FTP user's home directory, so that the user looks like this directory is the same as a subdirectory of the home directory. The link is the directory of a home directory (can be a virtual directory, but must be the original FTP), in another directory to do a link (note that this directory must be a real directory, virtual directory can not). Here is a demonstration of each.

Add virtual directories: For example, my FTP home directory is "I:TP", I want to map the e-book in J Disk and the software in the K disk to this directory. Click Add, there will be an Add wizard, the first to fill in the directory you want to be mapped, here I choose "J:ebook".

Then fill in the virtual path, that is, in which directory to display this virtual directory, I want to map to the main directory, select "I:TP"

Fill in the name you want to display, OK.

Note that the user must have access to the virtual directory, otherwise the user can not see the virtual directory after login, which is added in the user settings,

uploading ... Cancel

Add a link: I want a link in the home directory to link the virtual directory soft with the name Softlink to the home directory. Click Add, the first step in the wizard is to fill in where to put the link, and here, as with the virtual directory, supports variables like "%home%".

And then the name of the link.

uploading ... Cancel

Finally fill in the directory to be linked, support relative directory (such as Add virtual directory link, with absolute directory can not be represented).

Virtual directories and links are set up after the effect in FLASHFXP:

uploading ... Cancel

Finally, take a look at the settings for the personality welcome message. There is a Message tab in the settings for the domain. Here you can set some messages that the FTP server responds to the client. Click to modify ... and if you want your own FTP to be different, set it up here. Also, the FTP support welcome text, you can put the welcome information into a text file, so you can set a large section of style as a welcome word, and support a lot of variables, you can make the welcome word more personality.

How are other computers accessed? If the LAN computer ftp://from the computer IP address, if the external network, please see follow-up!
