FTP Configuration on Alf Com 4

[jcuk]

Hi,

I'm attempting to configure FTP for my Alfresco community 4 installation, however I have run into an issue. My dir.root is set correctly and I can upload files without an issue. However, when I connect to FTP, the alfresco folder appears to contain demo data and folders, I would like this to show my actual data store and allow me to upload and download files via FTP for that datastore.

Can someone confirm how this is done? I don't appear to have a file-servers.xml to configure additional repositories, also from the wiki I see that configuration of this is different in 4.0 as opposed to 3.2.

Many Thanks,
Jamie

You probably need to change your "mount point".

I suggest you start by changing alfresco-global.properties to have the following setting.

protocols.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}

If not then please post more details.

Hi,

I currently have the following line already in the alfresco-global.properties file:

### File Protocol Root ###
protocols.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}/${spaces.sites.childname}

Many Thanks,
Jamie

You need to clarify what you are trying to do.   What are you seeing?  What do you expect?

So when I connect to the alfresco FTP server, i expect to have a directory listing from root. Alfresco and AVM.

Within the Alfresco directory I want to have access to files within a space I have created, in this instance, lets call the space 'exspace'. However, there are no folders within the alfresco directory, on the FTP server, which signify the 'exspace' space, thus, I'm unable to upload and download files to that space via FTP.

Hope this clarifies?

Thanks,
Jamie

Any updates on this at all? Any ideas on how I can get this resolved?

What is the path of "exspace"?

If its company-home/exspace then you need to change your mount point.

So my dir.root is set to /opt/alfresco/alf_data, I have a space created as 'jcukspace' which I created within alfresco admin.

I would like to be able to upload and download files to this space using FTP. However, when I connect to the FTP server, i'm unable to find the space's location.

Oh and yes, the space is created in company-home/jcukspace.

Thanks,
Jamie

forget about dir.root and set the protocol root as I have told you on 21 May above.

protocols.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}
