Step 16. Double click on where it says, "Double click here to add
a domain".
Step 17. You should now be seeing the "Domain wizard"
screen. Under
"Enter the name of the new domain", put your desired
domain name or
enter your OUTSIDE IP ADDRESS (You can find out what
it is by going
to http://www.whatismyip.com).If you
are running a webserver and
DNS server, you cannot put the name of your FTP
server, for example,
"ftp.yoursite.com", you still have to enter your OUTSIDE
IP ADDRESS. If you have
a dynamic IP address and are using a dynamic
IP service such as
"no-ip.com", you can enter your dynamic DNS server website
address
(You can get one at no-ip.com) for example, "yourname.no-ip.org", or
"yourname.dyndns.org". After you are finished with the "Domain
wizard"
screen, click next.
Step 18. On this screen, you can choose the port that
you want to
run your FTP site on. The standard
port for FTP is port 21. Many ISP's
block FXPing from port 21, so if you want to be on
the safe side, then
run your FTP site on a non
standard port. You then redirect the non
standard port.
instead of the FTP standard port of 21 on your router,
if you are using one. To do this, click the box where it says, "Port"
and enter the port number that you want to run your
FTP site on. After
you are finished selecting the port that you want
to run your FTP site
on, click next.
Avoid using ports between 1024 to 4999.
Step 19. On the next screen which gives you choices about the logs
on your FTP site, click next.
Step 20. The next screen gives you a choice about whether or not
you want to create an anonymous account on your FTP
site. If you
wish for people to have anonymous access to your
FTP site, then
here is how you do it. First, you have to give the anonymous
users a
home directory. Click on the little folder picture
with the magnifying
glass on it, which is located to the right of the box which says,
"home".
Step 21. You should now see the "Select anonymous home
directory"
screen. Here you choose the home directory. for the
anonymous users.
Double click on the drive letter that you want the anonymous
home directory to be in.
Step 22. On the next screen, or wherever you want the
anonymous home directory to be in, highlight
your choice and then click on the
"open" button. In this example, we will be using "c:\
anonymous".
Step 23. The next screen confirms your choice for the home
directory
of the anonymous users. Click on "Finish", to create
the account
for the anonymous users.
Step 24. Now you must configure the PASV mode, (Passive
Mode)
for your FTP site. From the "Domain
settings" screen, (where you should
be at this point), click on where it says, "IP binding".
Step 25. You should now be seeing the "IP binding"
tab. Under
"Redirect PASV IP", put your desired domain
name or enter your
OUTSIDE IP ADDRESS (You can find out what it is by
going to
http://www.whatismyip.com).If you are
running a webserver and
DNS server, you cannot put the name of your FTP
server, for example,
"ftp.yoursite.com", you still have to enter your OUTSIDE
IP ADDRESS.
If you have a dynamic IP and are using
a dynamic IP service such as "no-ip.com", you can
enter your
dynamic DNS server website address (You can get one
at no-ip.com) for example,
"yourname.no-ip.org", or "yourname.dyndns.org".
Step 26. On the bottom, under "Passive Port Range",
enter 50000 on the
left window, and 50100 on the right window, and click OK.
Step 27. At this point, your FTP site should be up
and running.
To create another user, here is what you do. First, double click on
your domain on the right hand side of the screen,
not where the tree structure
is on the left side.
Step 28. Then double click on where it says, "Users".
Step 29. Right click on the right part of the screen, and left click
on "New user", on the small window that pops up.
Step 30. On the next screen, choose your desired username
and
password for your user. In this example, we will
choose the username,
"testuser" and the password "testuser". When you
finish choosing
the username and password,
click next.
Step 31. Choose the home directory for the new user.
The process
for selecting a home directory for a new user is
the same for
selecting a home directory for an anonymous
user. Follow steps
10 to 23.
The complete process of creating new users is described on step 34.
Step 32. When you create a new user, you need to give that user
access rights. To do this, first, from this screen,
click on
"Access Rights."
Step 33. Click on the "virtual path" to highlight
it and to bring up
the access rights. After you select the checkmarks
on which access rights
you want for your new user, click ok.

upload user.
Double click on the drive letter that you want the
upload home directory to be in.
Step 39.
On the next screen, or wherever you want the upload
home directory to be in, highlight
your choice and then click on the
"open" button. In this example, we will be using "c:\upload".
Step 40.
The next screen confirms your choice for the home directory
of the upload user. Click on "Finish", to create the account
for the upload user.
Step 41.
When you create a new user, you need to give that user
access rights. To do this, first, from this screen
highlight,
"access rights", and "Virtual
path".
The correct permissions for an upload
account are,
"Upload", "Append", "List files", "List folders",
"Make", and "Subdirs".
After choosing the permissions, click ok.
("Access rights" are the same as permissions.)
Step 42.

the same
as for an upload account, the only differences are
the permissions.
The correct permissions for a download
account are,
"Download", "Append", "List files", "List
folders", and "Subdirs".
After choosing the permissions, click ok.
