The install command will only work once. To run it again first do an 'uninstall'.

Also, the link http://localhost:8080/labkey/ftp is not a viewable web page. If you can get to http://localhost:8080/labkey/Project/home/begin.view, then you should be OK.

First, I want to make sure you understand that the "install" command you used does NOT run the ftp server. It installs a windows service. To run the server you would use the command "net start labkeyftp".

I'm confused by your last post. If you are not interested in using the LabKey server, there are many other free ftp servers that might make more sense to use. The LabKey FTP server is designed as an add-on to the LabKey server, not as a general purpose FTP server. For instance, all the use configurtion and user permissions are handled from within the LabKey server interface.
