NetWare FTP Server Administration Guide
A separate unique IP address must be assigned to the FTP server so that it can
move with the FTP server during failover and failback. Edit the
FTPSERV.CFG file and change the HOST_IP_ADDR line to specify the
unique IP address you want to assign to the FTP server. For example, if the
unique IP address you want to assign to the FTP server is 123.45.67.012, the
line would read Host_IP_ADDR=123.45.67.012.
Assigning a unique IP address to the FTP server allows it to bind to the unique
IP address instead of to the IP address of the local host.
FTPSERV.CFG also contains a line that specifies the default home directory
for FTP users. This home directory must reside on a volume on the shared disk
system. The volume where the home directory resides doesn't have to be
cluster enabled.
Edit FTPSERV.CFG and change the DEFAULT_USER_HOME line to
specify the user home directory and volume on the shared disk system. For
example, if the user home directory on the shared volume is SHARE1:/
HOME, the line would read DEFAULT_USER_HOME=SHARE1:HOME.
If you are running NetWare FTP Server in ACTIVE/PASSIVE mode, it should
be launched from the FTP Server Cluster Resource load script. For more
details, see Novell Cluster Services Overview and Installation (http://
www.novell.com/documentation/).
If you are running FTP Server in ACTIVE/ACTIVE mode, it should be
launched from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file of each NetWare server in the
cluster that will run FTP Server.
Add the following lines in the order specified to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file of
each NetWare server in the cluster that will run FTP Server in ACTIVE/
ACTIVE mode:
ADD SECONDARY IPADDRESS A.B.C.D NOARP
NWFTPD
LOAD DELAY.NLM
DELAY 5
DEL SECONDARY IPADDRESS A.B.C.D
Replace A.B.C.D with the unique IP address you assigned the FTP server.
