Here I’ve created a user named Miguel and granted read,Write, Delete and create Permission to the C:/Documents and Settings/Miguel/Desktop/FTP files directory. Then, on the left side, select “ Shared Folders” to set what folders that user will have access to on your server. In the Users dialog on the right hand side, hit the Add button to create a new user and assign a password. To set up a server user, in the Edit menu choose Users.The default port is 14147 If this is the only FTP server you’ll be administering (most likely it is), check off the “Always connect to this server” box to bypass this dialog in the future. Since the server is running on your PC-the same one the admin interface is running on-its address is localhost, or 127.0.0.1. The first time you run the admin interface, it will ask you for the server’s address and port. On the final installation dialog, choose whether you want the server admin window to launch automatically when the current Windows user logs on, when any user logs on, or if it should be started manually. Set the server administrative interface to launch automatically (or not).Choose “Start as service, started automatically (default)” By default it’s 14147, and you’re most likely safe leaving it at that.


Even though the FileZilla FTP client is available for multiple operating systems, the server app is Windows-only (and works for Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7). Download the FileZilla server application.The FileZilla server installation in a regular Windows “just press Next” wizard, and for most users, the suggested default settings will work.
