Community - 6.1.2 (r589dc49b-b205) how to Enable FTP service

[fredysnake]

Good day

I would like to ask for your help, to know how I can enable the FTP service in alfresco, it is implemented in Docker and the version is the one discussed in the subject.

Thank you so much

Typically, adding these properties in alfresco-global.properties should allow you to use ftp.

ftp.enabled=true
ftp.port=21

You need to make sure the configured port is open for access. Configure docker-compose file to allow port access 

ports:
- "21:21"

Apart from the above properties there are few more settings if you have advance requirements. You can refer this documentation for details: https://docs.alfresco.com/6.1/concepts/fileserv-ftp-intro.html

Hi abhinavmishra14

Thanks for answering.

I am reviewing the documentation, but they talk about the admin console, but is this only for the enterprise version?

additionally I see a configuration for the docker-compose.yml file but I have not been able to make it work.

I attach my file to see if I am doing it wrong

Thank you so much

In JAVA_OPTS add the properties i mentioned earlier and see if that works. See highlighted. I don't see anything related to admin console here: https://docs.alfresco.com/6.1/concepts/fileserv-ftp-props.html

However, when you go to admin console, it will just show whether ftp is enabled or disabled.

yes, and give it a try:

FTP just works like a charm, I just added this in JAVA_OPTS of docker-compose.yml:
-Dftp.enabled=true
-Dftp.port=2121

added port to alfresco service:

• 21:2121 #ftp

edited alfresco/Dockerfile and added this line at the bottom:
EXPOSE 2121

Use ACTIVE communication mode in the client in order to connect to Alfresco (port 21)
