Binary Distribution

Download the binary distribution and unzip it. The zip file includes sample configuration files

  • Typical server set up : <INSTALL_DIR>/res/conf/ftpd-typical.xml
  • Full example configuration file : <INSTALL_DIR>/res/conf/ftpd-full.xml

If you want to use your own jar files, you can put those jar files in system CLASSPATH or copy those jar files in the <INSTALL_DIR>/common/lib directory.

To run the server, go to <INSTALL_DIR> directory and execute ftpd.bat (if Windows) or ftpd.sh (if UNIX or Linux). In this case you need to pass the configuration file location. Usage: 

ftpd [<options>] [<configuration file>]
  <options> := --default
  <configuration file> := <XML configuration file>

In case of no option, default configuration will be used.
