Preparing a Root Directory
To prepare a root directory:

2. Place the boot files and configuration files to this root directory.
3. Set the security permissions for the FTP directory folder.
You need to define a user or group name, and set the permissions: read, write, and modify.
Security permissions vary by organizations.
