FTP on Alfresco

Hi,

I need to enable FTP on my Alfresco Server.  I had checked the setting up of FTP server and followed the steps narrated in http://forums.alfresco.com/fr/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1810. In my Alfresco setup, the  file-servers-custom.xml file resides in /usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension. After making changes to the xml file, When I open ftp using the link ftp://localhost:2021/alfresco, the ftp site doesn't open.

Can anyone help me how to fix this issue.


Thanks

You need to provide more information before anyone will be able to help.

Here's some suggestions.
a) What version of Alfresco?
b) What OS are you running on?
c) Are there any errors in your Alfresco.log ?
d) post the configuration you think has enabled ftp.
e) are there any errors when you try to use ftp?
f) is the server listening on the port 2021 expect ?
g) are other bits of alfresco working correctly ?
h) any known oddities with your network such as IP V6?

Hi,

Please find below the details of my ALfreso Installation.

Alfresco Version - 2.1
OS - Ubuntu
Errors on Alfresco log -  How do I check that ?
when i try to connect ftp from command prompt itself - i get connected refused
Port 2021 is not listening
All other areas of Alfresco are working correctly.
Network IP is IPV 4.

My file-servers-custom.xml file is residing in /usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/file-servers-custom.xml. The FTP configuration made in it is given below:-

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="FTP Server">
<serverEnable enabled="true"/>
<port>2021</port>
<bindto>9.0.0.114</bindto>
<rootDirectory>/Alfresco</rootDirectory>
<charSet>UTF8</charSet>
</config>

Thanks
