I friend of mine (Amarjeet Singh) created this document long time back but never shared it on Cisco support community so here i am doing the same.
While struggling through the information given at www.titanftp.com, I managed to setup titan SFTP server. I was able to run it on my lab server.
Though it requires a system restart after installation(no matter which operating system we use), it is quite easy to setup(no need to go to CLI).
There are many features in this, I couldn’t explore all. However, I was able to set it up for manual and scheduled backup. Any corrections/suggestions to the steps listed below will be appreciated.
The detailed steps are listed below:
1. Make sure that you have the most recent version of Titan FTP Server. You can download the most recent version from our Web site at http://www.titanftp.com/

status of the Titan FTP Service using the Windows Services applet in the Administrative Tools folder in the Windows Control Panel.
5. Once Titan FTP Server has been installed, you can begin to configure your FTP Servers. To configure your servers, use the Titan Administrator program located in the Titan FTP Server program group. (First screen –listed below):
