Basic understanding of CIFS,FTP

[rahulpatil]

I've have been running Alfresco community edition 4.2 on Ubuntu 12.04.
now I'm trying to configure other services like CIFS,FTP. I had follow the [link=http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/installation-upgrades-configuration-integration/installation-upgrad...][/link]. but after restart tomcat and alfresco, the required port not shows in

netstat -tulnp‍

.

So I just want to know, Do I need to setup vsftpd and samba server then integrate with alfresco or what ?

I also need information like how to enable Calender, install modules.


Thanks in Advance…

No you don't user vsftpd or samba.

Instead you turn on cifs and ftp through settings in alfresco-global.properties.   In particular cifs.enabled and ftp.enabled.
   
In addition if you are not running alfresco as root (which is reccommended) then alfresco will not be able to bind to the privileged ports.   So you change alfresco to bind to ports > 1000 and configure your portmapper or firewall to forward say port 21 to 1021
