IP Configuration

3. Choose one of the following options in the Server IP Configuration list.
• Select All. Go to step 4.
• Select a specific IP address. Continue with step 5.
• Select localhost. Continue with step 5.
When Server IP Configuration is set to All, you can select any available IP address as the
Return Address. If you select a specific IP address, the Return Address list shows the same IP
address and you cannot change it.
4. Select the return IP address in the Client - Server IP Configuration Return Address list.
5. Select the preferred IP address in the Switch - Server IP Configuration Preferred Address list.
If DNS is not configured for your network, do not select the ‘hostname’ option from either the
Return Address or Preferred Address list. Selecting the ‘hostname’ option prevents clients and
devices from communicating with the Server.
6. Click Apply or OK to save your work.
NOTE
Changes to this option take effect after an application restart.
7. Click OK on the “changes take effect after application restart” message.
Configuring an explicit server IP address
If you selected a specific IP address from the Server IP Configuration screen during installation and
the selected IP address changes, you will not be able to connect to the server. To connect to the
new IP address, you must manually update the IP address information.
If the client-to-server communication IP address was configured as the ‘host name’, complete the
following steps.
1. Open the Server Management Console from the Start menu.
2. Click the Services tab, if necessary, and click Stop.
3. Open the ftpd.properties file (located in the <Install_Home>\conf\ folder) in a text editor (such
as Notepad).
4. Edit the following variables:
config.data-connection.active.local-address=<New_IP_Address>
config.data-connection.passive.address=<New_IP_Address>
5. Save and close the file.
6. Update the FTP_SERVER table’s IP column with the <New_IP_Address> in the database.
7. Open the Server Management Console from the Start menu.
8. Click the Services tab, if necessary, and click Start.
9. Open the Management application from the Start menu.
