NetWare FTP Server Administration Guide
Before you start the NetWare FTP Server software, you should configure it by
setting the configuration parameters in the configuration file. The default
configuration file is SYS:/ETC/FTPSERV.CFG. The parameters in this
configuration fils are commented with their default values.
When the NetWare FTP Server is started, the IP address of the host
(HOST_IP_ADDR) and the port number of the NetWare FTP Server
(FTP_PORT), as defined in the configuration file, are used to bind to and
listen for FTP client connection requests. If these parameters are not defined
in the configuration file, the FTP Server binds to all configured network
interfaces and the standard FTP ports.
Multiple instances of the NetWare FTP Server can run on a single machine
with different IP addresses, or port numbers. The various parameters in the
configuration file along with the default values are described in the following
tables:
