FTPD Installation

The following directions assume that you want to install the Hellsoft Freeware version of FTPD for Netware. You will need to download the file called ftpd110.zip. You can either hit http://www.novell.com/nwc/resources/archive/ftpd110z.html for Novell's comments and link to this program or search the Internet for the keywords FTPD Hellsoft Novell and find several links to it.

Downloaded the FTPD110.ZIP file, create a directory called FTPD under the SYS:SYSTEM directory, and extract the contents of FTPD110.ZIP to the SYS:SYSTEM/FTPD directory.

To enable the FTP services on your server you need to add the following line in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file (if your server is running Mercury, it is recommended that you place this command after those that load mercury):


	load sys:system/ftpd/ftpd use sys:system/ftpd/ftpd.cfg

To edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file, type in LOAD INSTALL at the system console, select the NCF files options, and then the Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file. In order for the FTP services to be active you need to restart your server using the DOWN command.

If you are not able to restart your server, you can also enter the command above at the system console prompt to immediately load the FTP services. Please note that next time your server restarts, the FTP services will only load if you have added the command to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

Note: As long as you don't create an anonymous user acount, anonymous user access will be denied.
