Getting Started

The very first step is to launch the Add Domain Wizard to create a new domain. When you finish with the wizard, the selected services like FTP, SFTP, or HTTPS should be up and running. You can go to Server | Status tab and verify the status of services of each domain. Now you can add one or more users through the Add User Wizard (assuming the Internal User Database is used for authentication) and test the connection, login, and file operations.

Below we summarize how to carry out some basic operations.
