WebUI tab

TurboFTP comes with a modern web client interface (WebUI) that allows users to manipulate their files and folders by logging in to a regular browser. The WebUI requires the browser to have Javascript enabled. Modern browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari are supported. Some features offered by the WebUI are not found in other file transfer protocols supported by TurboFTP Server. For example, image and video thumbnails, two-factor authentication, Ad Hoc file sharing, file search, document collaboration, etc. The WebUI tab contains server-side settings of the WebUI.

Domain WebUI settings

Required password protection of shared files

If enabled, users must set up password protection for any file or folder they share.

Default expiration and max expiration

Specifies the default expiration period of shared items in hours or days.

Enable Email code Two-factor Authentication

If enabled, users can select Email code as the Two-factor Authentication method. Two-factor authentication requires the user to enter an extra secret after they provide the correct username and password at login. Email code is a code automatically sent to the user's Email address. It relies on two things to work properly:

  • There is a valid Email address in the user profile.
  • The SMTP settings in Server | Email tab is properly configured to allow TurboFTP Server to sent outgoing Emails.

Enable TOTP Two-factor Authentication

If enabled, users are allowed to select TOTP as the Two-factor Authentication (2FA) method. TOTP stands for Time-based One-time Password, a computer algorithm to generate time-dependent unique code. Since the code is derived from a hash value, keyed by a secret series of octets, the result can't be reproduced without knowing the secret. A user can use a TOTP-compatible authenticator app like Google Authenticator to complete the 2FA process.

Use Docs Server (HTTPS)

TurboFTP Server supports the WOPI protocol that allows viewing and editing a document, spreadsheet, or presentation in a browser. Users can also co-author a document simultaneously. For this to work, a separate Docs server must be set up. Provide the Docs server IP address in this field and select the HTTPS checkbox if possible.

Default number of items per page

This setting applies to the Details view of file list in the WebUI. Users can still choose a different number of items per page through the WebUI's settings page if they wish.
