The erection of internal FTP server in enterprise

For small and medium-sized enterprises, some resources need to be shared on the local area network. But if users find a file, need to go to different machines to find, so not only delay time, but also greatly reduce the enthusiasm of the staff; If you use a computer to centralize all the documents needed in-house, wouldn't that be a big boost to work efficiency? This can be done by establishing a dedicated FTP server in the local area network.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is one of the most widely used transport protocols in TCP/IP. TCP/IP supports a variety of LAN, WAN, and connection types including: Ethernet, Token-ring, Sddi, Wireless LAN, X.25 SVC, PVC, and frame Relay.

FTP is based on the "Customer => Server" model, where clients and servers establish connections through TCP. Unlike the other "customer => Server" model, the FTP client and server have a dual connection, one is a control connection and the other is a data connection. The reason for the double connection is that FTP is an interactive session system, such as a client calling FTP, and the server to establish a session, the session to control the connection to maintain until the FTP exit. Control connections are responsible for transmission control information, especially customer commands (such as file transfer commands, etc.), with control commands, customers can make multiple requests to the server (a request is a customer command). Each request from the customer, the server will establish a data connection with the customer, the actual data (such as file) transmission. Once the data transfer is completed, the connection session is revoked, but the control connection still exists and the customer can continue to issue commands. Until the customer types the close command to undo the control connection, and then type quit to exit the FTP session, the two control processes end.

Installation and setup of FTP server

System server Type: Windows SQL Server

FTP servers Name: serv-u FTP Server 4.1

The installation of an FTP server can be done on many platforms, but Windows Server platform is more suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Because the humanized design of Windows can let the server management personnel do not have to receive the formal training, can complete the system management and maintenance work well.

When installing Windows Server, do not install any unrelated plug-ins, install more than one plug-in, a little more dangerous. Because the Windows Server system employs an overly humane design, there are a number of vulnerabilities. Of course, can also configure the system is very safe, it depends on the administrator's foundation. Because of the Deerfield Company (http://www.deerfield.com/) product serv-u FTP Server 4.1, the FTP tool that Windows Server brings is not installed. Serv-u FTP Server 4.1 is an English version of the software, users can download the Chinese patch http://www.mycalf.com/soft/Serv-U4.1.zip.
