Core FTP Server for Windows - Quick Setup tutorial.

Double click on the Core FTP Server desktop icon, you should then see the following setup window.

Click on the 'Setup' button to create a domain and it's corresponding users.

Click on the 'New' button to create a new domain.  Follow the steps below.

These instructions are for setting up an SSL/TLS server.

1:  Enter your domain name, this can be anything.

2:  Enter your domain name as used on the internet or your internal/external IP address (enter "localhost" with no quotes for unknown address).

3:  If you do not wish to add SSL/TLS support, skip to step #4.

Add your existing certificate from a certificate store by clicking the 'certificate' button.  If you do not have a certificate installed in your certificate stores or do not have a certificate, press the 'self signed certificate' button to generate your own.  The self signed certificate will require you to enter certificate information.

4:  Select a port (default 21).

5:  Chose a base directory where all directories and user directories will exist.

If you are choosing a networked drive, you may need to modify the account in the Core FTP Server's service properties,
as the system account may not have access to the network drive.

6:  Hit OK.

Next, create a user for the domain:

Select the domain we just created (mydomain.com) and then click on the 'New' button below to create a new user for this domain.

To get up and running, the user, password, and home directory are the only fields that are required.  Enter those fields and hit ok.

You should now see the user you created in the list of users for your domain.

Hit OK to proceed.

Now you're all set.   Click 'start' to get the server going and connect with your FTP client.   You can edit your domain and user settings at a later time.

Core FTP Server for Windows will also run fine under Windows 98SE/ME.  The only issue that you might need to resolve yourself are some minor certificate issues, and this is only required if you require SSL/TLS for your server.  This is detailed in the help topic certificates.
