How to set up filezilla server on windows server 2008



Download Filezilla Server from http://filezilla-project.org/


Installation Wizard:

Select where you want to install the server

I prefer to turn off the server admin interface:

That's it. It’s done, now you just need to setup users, and allow port 20-21 through your firewall:

That's it for the basic server setup. Now onto configuring server options:

Once setup, and you’ve configured your network properly, test it out. By default you’ll need to configure the windows firewall or you won’t be able to connect:

Go into the Windows Firewall (Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall).
Click Advanced Settings
Right Click on Inbound Rules and create new rule

Set the program you want to allow:

Create Users:
If all's gone well, your server's up and running—but no one can use it yet, since you haven't given anyone permission. To set up a server user, from the Edit menu choose Users. In the Users dialog on the right hand side, hit the Add button to create a new user and assign a password. Then, on the left side, select "Shared Folders" to set what folders that user will have access to on your server. Here I've created a user named gina and granted read access to the C:\data\ directory.

Notice you can fine-tune file access rights for each user: grant read-only rights (download only), write rights (to upload files), and whether or not the user can delete files or create directories, too.
