Overview

The management console allows you to manage one or more TurboFTP Server instances locally or remotely.

Overview

The Main Window is divided into two panels. The left window panel shows the service directory tree. The right configuration panel varies depending on the service directory tree selection.

Service Directory

The Service Directory window shows manageable elements like servers, domains, and users in a tree view. To make changes to items that are displayed in the tree, select the item you want to configure, and make changes in the configuration panel on the right.

Drag and Drop of tree nodes

Users in the service tree can be dragged and dropped to any user class or group in the same domain.

User class and group can not be dragged or dropped.

Configuration Panel

The Configuration Panel shows the configuration details of a selected element on the Service Directory tree, e.g., a server or a domain.

The contents of this panel vary depending on what is selected in the service directory. When an item is selected in the service directory, this panel shows the element's detail, organized into multiple tabs.

If any of the settings is changed, the Apply button will be enabled, and you can click it to submit the changes to the server. If you want to discard the changes, click the Restore button and settings will be reverted to the original values. Before submission, the management console will check for invalid values. If an invalid value is found, it will highlight the problematic field and ask you to correct it.
