33.1. Introdution

The JCR-FTP Server represents the standard eXo service, operates as an FTP server with an access to a content stored in JCR repositories in the form of nt:file/nt:folder nodes or their successors. The client of an executed Server can be any FTP client. The FTP server is supported by a standard configuration which can be changed as required.

33.2. Configuration Parameters

<value-param>
   <name>command-port</name>
   <value>21</value>
</value-param>

The value of the command channel port. The value '21' is default.

When you have already some FTP server installed in your system , this parameter needs to be changed (2121 for example) to avoid conflicts or if the port is protected.

<value-param>
   <name>data-min-port</name>
   <value>52000</value>
</value-param>
<value-param>
   <name>data-max-port</name>
   <value>53000</value>
</value-param>

These two parameters indicate the minimal and maximal values of the range of ports, used by the server. The usage of the additional data channel is required by the FTP - protocol, which is used to transfer the contents of files and the listing of catalogues. This range of ports should be free from listening by other server-programs.

<value-param>
   <name>system</name>

   <value>Windows_NT</value>
     or
   <value>UNIX Type: L8</value>
</value-param>

</value-param>

This parameter specifies the coding which is used for dialogue with the client.

<value-param>
