Setting Up an FTP Server

A simple provisioning configuration uses File Transfer Protocol or FTP. Although FTP servers are free, they require installation, and use logins and passwords.

A free and popular server, Filezilla Server is available for Windows at http://filezilla-project.org . This application has been tested with the SoundStation IP 7000 phone.

To set up the server:

1.Download and install the latest version of Filezilla Server.

2.After installation, you are presented with a “Connect to Server” pop-up. Select OK to open the administrative user interface.

3.To configure a user, select Edit > Users in the status bar.

4.Select Add.

5.Enter the user name for the phone and select OK. For example, “bob” or “bill123”

6.Select the Password checkbox and enter a password. For example, “1234” or “phone&&&”

The phone will use this password to login.
