Introduction to FileZilla Server [z]

Many friends may need FTP server software in practical applications. There are many such software, including Serv-U and G6. Here we will introduce filezilla server to you, windows is a good FTP server software, which is free and open-source.
Filezilla Server is a software in the filezilla project. This project also includes filezilla's FTP client. The official website is http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/. you can check it out. Here, we will briefly introduce the use of filezilla server. Currently, the latest version of filezilla server is 0.9.18, which is a beta version. You can also download the previous release version with the same functions and usage. The following describes how to use filezilla server from the beginning of software installation.


The first half of the installation process is a standard process and there is nothing to say. However, when this step is illustrated, You need to briefly describe some related options and settings, the port number shown in the figure is the port number used by the filezilla server interface management program to manage the filezilla server. It is not the port number of the FTP server. As shown in, you can also select the filezilla server startup method, that is:
1. Install filezilla server as a service and start it with windows.
2. Install filezilla server as a service, but manually start
3. Do not install filezilla server as a service and start it automatically
The first option is selected by default. You can select one option based on your individual needs.


In the following installation interface, you can set the filezilla server interface management program startup mode. There are also three options:
1. Applicable to all users, which can be started upon user login
2. Applicable only to the current user.
3. Manual execution
Similarly, you can select an instance based on your needs.
After the installation is complete, run the FileZilla Server Interface program on the premise that the FileZilla Server service has been started.

The figure shows the Interface where the FileZilla Server Interface program runs. By default, it is connected to the local machine. You can also enter an IP address to directly manage the remote FTP Server. Note that, the port number is the connection port number used for management when FileZilla Server is installed. Administrator password, which is not required by default. This option takes effect only after the administrator password is set through FileZilla Server Interface. You must enter the correct password to use this option.
The main Interface of the FileZilla Server Interface program is relatively simple. In addition to the menu and toolbar, it is the current connection record window and the remote IP address window currently connected to the FTP Server.

Is the toolbar of FileZilla Server Interface. The Toolbar contains almost all the functions in the menu, from left to right: "connection/disconnection", "Lock", "Settings", "user settings", "group settings", "about", "display by logical name", and "display by physical name ""and" arrangement ".
Brief description: "connection/disconnection" controls the connection between the FileZilla Server Interface program and the FTP Server. "locking" locks the Server and no new connections; "setting" means comprehensive setting. "user setting" and "group setting" means setting the user name used for login on the Server side and grouping multiple users; you don't need to explain "About". "display by logical name" and "display by physical name" are literally the display mode of Server files and the display logic name, it is still the physical name, but I tried it and did not find any changes. It still needs to be further tested. However, this function requires very little and will not affect other usage; there is no need to say more about the "arrangement.
Next, let's configure FileZilla Server to meet our requirements.

Here we can set the most basic conditions of the FTP Server, such as the port number, the maximum number of users, and connection timeout settings.

Here, you can set the welcome information displayed when you connect to the FTP Server, which can be modified at will. Of course, you can also set not to display

Here, you can set the Server to accept FileZilla Server Interface program management, such as the port number used, whether a password is required, and the IP range that can be used to manage connections and cannot manage connections.

You can set the log record of the Server.
In general, FileZilla Server Interface settings are very easy to use. Here we will only introduce the basic applications, but not the other ones.
Let's talk about the user group settings, user group settings, and user settings, which do not necessarily exist at the same time. You can set only the user but not the user group. However, if there are many people connecting to the FTP Server, it is better to set up the user group to facilitate management, and to add new users more conveniently.

The process of adding a group is not complex. As shown in, a MyMates group is added and D disks are opened to the group. The preceding "H" indicates the root directory of the FTP Server, in the options on the right, you can set the permission to use files and directories, which is super simple and needless to say.
After setting the user group, let's add another user

The process is also very simple. I believe most of my friends can do it on their own. After adding a new user, you can set the user, such as the password and user group, on the Interface shown in.
After you select a user group, you do not need to set an open directory for the user. the permissions of the user are the same as those of the group. If necessary, you can also open a directory for a single user.

It should be noted that if you open directories separately to users, You need to perform ing settings, because the root directory of the user is the same as that of the user group, you need to open directories separately to users, map to the root directory, as shown in the preceding two figures. After opening the edisk to the user, right-click the directory name and select "Edit aliases ", map the edisk to the d disk that has been opened in the user group, that is, the root directory of the Server, and the mapped directory name is aliases. This gives the user the permission to operate the edisk, as for the permission setting issue, we will not go into details if it is exactly the same as the previous one.
I believe many of my friends have read the above introduction and can use FileZilla Server normally. In fact, the functions of FileZilla Server are far more than those mentioned above, for example, speed restrictions, IP restrictions, and SSL usage are not described here. At the same time, we also leave a space for you to better familiarize yourself with FileZilla Server, in general, the functions of FileZilla Server can fully meet the needs of ordinary users, and it is free and open-source. When you look for better FTP Server software, try FileZilla Server.
