Installing an FTP server

Use this procedure to install an FTP server for use with the Landmark Administration Console. We recommend using secure FTP and in the case of multi-tenant clients, it is required. Otherwise, this procedure does not specify a particular FTP server or version, but only lists the basic requirements.

  1. Download an FTP installation program.
    Note: Windows operating systems include an FTP server. See your Windows documentation for details.
  2. Install the FTP server with the default port, usually 22 for secure FTP.
  3. Create a directory on your computer that is the destination or source folder for FTP, and add a sub-directory within that.
  4. Add a user and password for your FTP server.
    Note:  FTP sends passwords in clear text so do not use any of your regular passwords.
  5. Give the user full access to the FTP folders you created.
