Hi Jon,

Which step did you encounter problem? Which version of the ftp server did you download from the incubator site? Have you check that your ftp server can run with the configuration "res/conf/ftpd.properties" without problem? If this passed, then your issue is more on the UserManager setup.

We have set up the FTP server locally, but via rebuilding the ftp server from source. We try the release of "1.0-M1-incubator" but some of the classes' method signatures have changed. Only the trunk works. In addition, we have to download a number of other jars file for it executes. We are unsure if this is the exact build that is intented. But the useful of this feature is worth all these, esp. that the project access control is observed.


Britt, on the docs page, it says "The Apache Java FTP server is available in a .zip file on the download page. Simply unzip the FTP server to an appropriate directory. We recommend installing it alongside the Tomcat server used for the LabKey server." However, the download page only contain labkey ftp components, not the FTP server. It will save user a lot of inconvenience if
1) the FTP server is available for download or
2) a link to the exact download on the incubator page (http://incubator.apache.org/ftpserver/ contains a download link which we have failed to perform a successful setup too) or
3) the exact FTP server release name/version is available.

Cheers,
Chee-Hong.
