Why use FTP Server Lite?
FTP Server Lite can be used for the following tasks;
Copy multiple files easier then a HTTP server.
More control on permissioning then a HTTP server.
Easiest to calculate throughput of file transfer protocols.
File transfers may be from either a web browser or from the command line.

Getting Started – Setting Up User Accounts
Set up one or multiple user accounts depending on how many users you require.
Only these users can access the FTP server.
For security you can set passwords for your users.
You can disable users by clicking on that users name, then check the “Disable this account” box.
Set permissions accordingly. In most cases you will only want users to download from the server.
We have found that you can only set up a maximum of 3 user accounts

Getting Started – Configuration
Set up your max connections depending on how many hosts you expect to be using the server at one time.
Most FTP users like to set a Welcome and Goodbye message for their hosts.
The Startup settings allow you to launch and activate your FTP server at upon Windows Startup.
You can choose to turn on logging for either errors, warnings or traces. Logged traces will be recorded in a Notepad file.
We have found that only 4 simultaneous connections can be supported from 1 IP address.

Turning on and Using FTP Server
Once you are done configuring your FTP server click the Start button to activate it.
Once activated, users can access your FTP server from either a web browser or the command prompt.
You can type either the IP or the Machine name of the server.
You will be prompted to enter your user name, and password if applicable, on both the web browser and the command prompt.
NOTE: You can create a URL login syntax to make logging into your FTP server through the web browser easier and faster.
ftp://username:password@hostname (or @Ipaddresss))
