Alfresco using FTP Server

Hello everbody,

I have a question using alfresco with an ftp server.

I already read through the documentation of alfresco, but was not sure where to start.

1st: I use an ftp-server called  xxxx.no-ip.org, where I already "installed 1 user called user1
     Is it possible to configure alfresco that the content managment is done on the platform of the ftpserver?
2nd: Where can I specifiy, that users can log in from another computer outside the network (using ftp)
3rd: Is there a step by step documentation for that? I only want to set up the ftp server and then work with the standard alfresco functionality.

My conditions:
Windows 7, alfresco 4.2 community Edition, ftpserver already setup on a fritzbox (dynDNS via NO-ip)

I would appreciate every help, thanks in advance.

1. No you use alfresco's inbuilt FTP server. 
2. No need.  Users will be able to log in.  Control through the authentication subsystem.

Thank you, mrogers, I appreciate the help of a senior expert.

1. To inbuilt FTP server: Is there a description, how to do this? I did not find any example to set up the inbuilt ftp server for 4.2 Community edition..
1.) I want the easiest way to let users log in from the internet to my server, do I have to read through the ftp section somewhere, or is there a more easier service`?

2. Things like the authentication subsystem, in which files do I have to set the parameters? Is there a tutorial?

Thank you ! Daniel
