Simple Settings Tutorial
This tutorial will explain how to set up quickly a simple FTP site. We will configure an anonymous access to a single directory.
Step 1
Launch CesarFTP. If you run it for the first time, you should see this.
We will create our account. Please click on the surrounded icon (in red).
Step 2
You should see this dialog:
1st
Click on the "Add User" button. "New User" should appear in the list. The focus is directly set to "User/Group" name.
2nd
Set the account name. Whatever you wish.
3rd
Click on the "Anonymous Access" button. This sets up login and password automatically.
4th
Let's share some files now ! Click on the "File Access Rights" button.
Step 3
You should see this frame :
The two upper panes show your computer file system. Choose a directory you'd like to share, and drag and drop it in one of the two bottom panes, showing the server file system. Here I choosed to share the "school" directory. Once done, close the frame. Then click on the "OK" button of the User and Group Settings dialog.
It's almost done !
Step 4
You should be back to the main window:
Now you just have to put the server on-line ! Just click on the fire to put in it green (on-line state). Your FTP server is ready ! Just give an URL such as this one to the future users: ftp://my_ip where my_ip is your IP address.
Well done !
