FTP Site Property Sheet

Use this property sheet to set the identification parameters for your server. The server description and the IP address are optional.

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 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.

Connection

Unlimited

Allows an unlimited number of simultaneous connections to the server.

Limit 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 FTP site logging, which can record details about user activity and create logs in various formats. 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 Windows Whistler Server) A fixed format logged to a database.

To configure the options for log file creation (for example, weekly, or by file size), or to configure properties for W3C Extended logging or ODBC logging, click Properties. The Extended Logging Properties dialog box appears with an option to configure Logging - General Properties or Extended Logging Properties.
