Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

Why I can't connect to my server in FileZilla using FTP?

A

The most likely incorrect configuration of either FileZilla, your firewall, your router or a combination of it.

Q

How do you make multiple users land in the same directory?

A

Specify the directory in this path "local_root=/path/to/directory/"

Q

Is it safe for all user and groups settings to upgrade from older Filezilla server?

A

Yes, installing a new version over an older version does not change any settings.

Q

How can I share multiple drives in FileZilla?

A

Let's assume the server's home directory is set to C:\ftproot and you want to make your picture collection in D:\mypictures available as /pictures. Add D:\mypictures and select its entry. Next add /pictures in the alias column. Now the server will display D:\mypictures

Q

How can I enable anonymous logins in FTP using Filezilla?

A

Just create an account with the name anonymous and make sure the password box isn't checked on that account.
