FTP in Alfresco

[sachindac75]

Hi All,

I am trying to enable FTP in Alfresco . I have made these changes in /opt/alfresco-community/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

ftp.port=2121
ftp.enabled=true

and when i am trying  to access using ftp://admin:admin@localhost:2121/Alfresco

from browser and i am getting connection refused.

please help me how to check my configuration is correct or not .And even how can i test?

Check your local firewall and allow for 2121 if necessary.

Thanks Cesar,

i did not check firewall but i checked for port 21 that was also not working .i am worried about whether my configuration is correct or not

Hi,

with the given config you should have the 2121 port open, not the 21. This is probably because you installed Alfresco with a non-priviledged user. There is no problem with this configuration, but if you are in a Windows Server you will probably have to open this port in the firewall, and if you are in Linux maybe you have to open it via iptables.

You can check it in linux with nc command or even with telnet command to this port.

$ nc -v localhost 2121
