You can use the FTP Server application to enable your PC to act as an FTP server. Remote systems running FTP software can then log in to your PC to read and copy files. FTP Server supports multiple connections simultaneously.
Although you can configure FTP Server to take advantage of many advanced features, it also provides basic capabilities that require little or no administration. You can define a list of authorized users, and restrict directory access and access privileges for specific users. You can create ASCII text files of greeting messages sent to remote users at various times during a connection. You can also give your FTP server a name that appears to remote users when they connect.
FTP Server provides many features that help you set up your FTP server. This chapter describes the basic FTP Server features; you can also explore many other features by accessing the help information online or by referring to the document CiscoRemote Plus Administrator Guide, which is available on the CiscoRemote Plus CD.
You must start FTP Server to allow other remote systems access to your PC.

The Setup Server window opens. (See Figure 10-1.)
Step 3 Enter the name of your server in the Server Name field.
Step 4 Click on the Server On checkbox to select it (an X should appear).
Step 5 Click OK.
You assign a username and password to each remote user who will have access to your computer. You also specify which directories remote users can access and the access privileges for each directory.

The Setup User window opens. (See Figure 10-2.)
Step 2 Enter a username in the User Name field.
Step 3 Enter a password in the Password field that the user must use to access your computer.

To specify access to specific directory, enter the directory path in the Directory field and the click on the Allow Read and Allow Write checkboxes to specify whether the user can read or write (change) files in the directory.
Step 5 Click OK.
Remote users with access to your computer can now transfer files as long as your FTP Server application is running.
