*** NOTE ***: FreeFTPD is not the official FTP tool due to several limitations, however it is a fairly simple to configure software that works great when testing CallManager storage configuration for Billing Servers, Disaster Recovery backups, or manual file get operations from CLI. Please refer to the following documents in case of running into troubles: CSCsm21349 / CSCsi30530 / CSCsr76880
In this example I will use CallManager as the client:
In the case of Disaster Recovery backups, the server will only use SFTP for file integrity verification accross the network, that way we can be sure the resulting files will be usable.
Lovely and seamless.
Do you know what the official recommendations are? I am having trouble tracking it down.
Hi,
I use the standard FTP service which is a part of the IIS in the MS Win servers as well.
I have to say that both solutions are absolutely sufficient and stable for eg. billing servers.
Anyway, if you want, take look to http://www.2ring.com/ca for more info regarding our billing solution.

for the FreeFTPd you can run as a system account which would keep it going after you log out, but the problem with this software is that after a while the service stops working and you need to restart the service. This works well as a manual backup software, but not for an everyday backup software for customers. I suggest to my customers the VanDyke VShell product as that is the cheapest solutions ($249.00) I have found and works great. We have several clients on both, but if they can budget the money I always go with VShell.
Or just use a proper OS, which inevitably comes with it baked in!
Hi Hammad,
I know this is a bit late so not sure if you still need an answer but I ran into the same issue. The way I resolved it was to do the following steps.
1. Log into the server running freeftpd.
2. Stop the freeftpd service.
3. Start the freeftpd program and stop and start the sftp from within the freeftp program and press "apply & save" button.
4. completely close the application (don't just press the "x" on the window but also right click on the icon in the task bar and exit the application).
5. Start the freeftpd service again, log out and you should be good to go!
Hey Muraligprt,
I know this has been a long time now and you my no longer need this answer but please look at the response I added to this thread in response to hammad_shah who asked the same question.
Hello Cameron,
I am trying to follow the steps you shared but while trying to stop the freeftpd service, I checked that service is in stopping status and I am not able to stop it.
Just wanted to confirm if I need to change the Logon account to 'Local System' because my machine is in domain and logon account is a domain user.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Arpit Arora
Cameron +5 for the find mate. This little trick has been helpful.
