Modify the \config\ftpd.conf for DocuShare 3.1

Updated

To modify the Default FTP Port number for the Scan Direct to DocuShare feature:

  1. Stop the DocuShare 3.1 Services.
  2. Open a text editor and modify the \config\ftpd.conf to use a free Port higher than 1023 (1024 -4999 is not recommended). Save the changes.

    Example of a modified ftpd.conf:
    ## Ftp server host name
    ## The default host is the localhost
    #FtpServer.server.config.host=localhost
    ## Ftp server port number.
    ## Default FTP port is 21.
    FtpServer.server.config.port=5921
  3. Start the DocuShare 3.1 Server.
  4. When the DocuShare FTP Service is using the new port number, you will need to modify the scanner's Filing Destination settings to use the new port number (same as being used in the ftpd.conf file). Some models of Document Centres or WorkCentre products do not allow Filing Destination Ports to be modified. Non-standard ports are not be supported by all models.
