Step 6: Create an “uploads” folder for FTP users (optional)
If you enabled anonymous access in Step 2, you may want to create a folder for anonymous
users to upload files. The folder must be named “uploads.” It is not a share point, but must
have appropriate access privileges. See “Creating an Uploads Folder for Anonymous Users”
on page 253.
Step 7: Create share points and share them using FTP
Use the Sharing module of Workgroup Manager to specify the share points that you want to
make available through FTP. You must explicitly configure a share point to use FTP in order
for FTP users to be able to access the share point. See “Creating Share Points and Setting
Privileges” on page 211 and “Configuring File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Share Points” on
page 213.
Step 8: Start FTP service
After you have configured FTP, start the service to make it available. See “Starting FTP
Service” on page 252.
