Upgrading FTP Server

[srkinyon]

I use MS FTP and I'll like to change to anything else, likely to Serv-u FTP. Outside of obviously installing the new FTP app, how to I migrate Plesk to use my new FTP instead of the one I've been using?

Are there any articles on this in the KB or in help? I didn't see any, but I'm sure I not the first one to do this...

You should

1. Install Serv-U and enable its option Run as Windows service
2. Go to Plesk > Server > Components Mamagement and click button Refresh
3. Plesk will recognaize Serv-U is installed and you will see it in section FTP Server.
4. Click link FTP Server and select Serv-U

Thanks for the reference, I didn't see that in the 7.5 help file.

That brings up 2 more question:

1. Can I switch back to MS FTP as easy as I switched to the new FTP?

2. Is there a way to migrate my existing FTP setup (users/domains) to the new one? Does Plesk do this automatically when it sees the new FTP server?

Plesk does it automatically
