FTP Site Property Sheet

FTP Site Properties - FTP Site Property Sheet

On this property sheet, you set the identification parameters for your server. The server and domain names and the IP address are optional.

FTP Site Identification

Description: You can use any name you want for the server name. This name is primarily for your own identification and organizational purposes.
IP Address: For an address to appear in this box, it must have already been defined for use in Control Panel. See your Windows NT documentation for more information.
TCP Port: Determines the port on which the service is running. The default is port 21. You can change the port to any unique TCP port number; however, clients must know in advance to request that port number, or their requests fail to connect to your server. For a new port number to take effect, you must restart your computer.

Connection

Unlimited

Allows an unlimited number of simultaneous connections to the server.

Limited To

Sets the maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed to the server.

Connection Timeout

Sets the length of time before the server disconnects an inactive user. This ensures that all connections are closed if the HTTP protocol fails to close a connection.

Enable Logging

Select this option to enable your FTP siteÆs logging features, which can record details about user activity and create logs in your choice of format. The logs can tell you which users accessed your FTP sites and what information they accessed. After enabling logging, select a format in the Active log format list. The formats are as follows:

Microsoft IIS Log Format A fixed ASCII format.

W3C Extended Log File Format A customizable ASCII format, selected by default.

ODBC Logging (Only Available with IIS) A fixed format logged to a database.

The default format is W3C Extended Log File Format, with Time, Client IP Address, Method, URI Stem, and HTTP Status selected. For more information about W3C Extended Log File Format, in the property sheet, click Properties and then click Help.

To configure the criterion by which log files are created (for example, weekly, or by file size), or to configure properties for W3C Extended logging or ODBC logging, click Properties.
