<ol>
<li><b>What is the advantage of using Advanced FTP Server over other ftp servers?</b><br>
Other free FTP servers dose not provide the facility to control the server remotely
and some provides this facility by installing the required software's in the
remote machine which may not be possible all the times. But this provides a simple,
user friendly web interface, where you can connect from remote machine through
a browser. This enables control over the application from remote machines.<br>
</li>
<li><b>When the HTTP port is changed it shown the message box that it had been
changed but then the page is not displayed properly?</b><br>
When the HTTP port is changed the application starts running the server with
the new port where the previous port you were using becomes invalid. Once you
change the HTTP port you also need to manually change the port in the address
bar. Here even when the HTTP port is changed the server retains your authentication
information till you close the browser and when you change the port and reconnect
you need not re-authenticate.<br>
</li>
<li><b>How to change the HTTP User Name and Password via browser?</b><br>
Navigate to Service Settings and just type in the user name and password in
the field provided and click the Save Changes button.<br>
</li>
<li><b>Why the web interface so simple and classic?</b><br>
This simple interface is provided to maintain the speed and reduce the band
width of the server. More over just to maintain the server no rich appearance
is required.<br>
</li>
<li><b>What is the use of running the application as windows service?</b><br>
As this application is run from windows service this starts as soon as the windows
started. So to use the ftp server remotely you need not login to your windows
account. When you require any files from your system when you are outside, you
can call up some body and ask to turn on your system so that you can use your
IP Address to connect to your system.<br>
</li>
<li><b>How to connect to the ftp server when the port no is changed from 21
to some thing else?</b><br>
The default global port for FTP server is 21 and your client always connects
to the ftp server using the port 21 until you explicitly define the port. To
explicitly define the port just type in like this ftp://IPAddress:Port no. (E.g.
ftp://121.0.0.1:25) will connect to the local ftp server running in port 25.<br>
</li>
<li><b>Is their any way to directly connect to the http server without explicitly
mentioning the http port?</b><br>
Yes, the global default port for the http server is 80. If you change the http
port to 80 then you need not mention the http port explicitly. (Note: Only one
application can run in one single port. So if you change the port to 80 any
other http applications installed, like IIS wont work properly)<br>
</li>
<li><b>When the ftp port no is set to 21 it was not working properly but it
works with some other ports?</b><br>
This means the port 21 is used by some other applications and so you cannot
use the port 21. It must be some other ftp applications. Either you must stop
the other application from using this port or you need to use some other port
for this application.<br>
</li>
<li><b>The ftp server is working properly in the system where it is installed
but when connecting from remote machines it is not connecting?</b><br>
Their may be several cause for this problem like firewall blocks the program
from for external connections, your router may not forward the ports to your
system, your external IP address is different from the IP address in your local
network (LAN), when you connect to the server from remote machine not in your
local network (LAN) you need to use your external IP. You can easily find reference
in google to solve your problem.</li>
