Configuring the GV STRATUS system for FileZilla

  1. In SiteConfig, add the GV STRATUS Generic FTP MDI role to the GV STRATUS Core server, if it is not already added.
    Note: The server that runs the FileZilla FTP service is not maintained through SiteConfig.
  2. If not already installed, use SiteConfig to install the Generic FTP MDI on the GV STRATUS Core server.
  3. On the GV STRATUS Core server, in the SabreTooth License Manager, generate a unique Id and request a STRATUS-Archive license. When you receive the license, install it on the GV STRATUS Core server.
  4. In GV STRATUS Control Panel application, add a Generic FTP MDI and configure the FTP Server settings as follows:
    • FTP Server Name: The FTP network name of the server that runs the FileZilla FTP service. Make sure the name includes the _he0 suffix.
    • FTP User Account: GVAdmin
    • FTP Password: The administrator password
  5. Save the MDI configuration.
  6. Restart the GV STRATUS Core server.
  7. In GV STRATUS Control Panel application, in Licensing settings, verify that the desired users are licensed with the Archive Rights and Restore Rights.
  8. To test, log in as one of those users and verify that you are able to Archive and Restore.
  9. To add a new archive bin, go to Devices | FTPMDI right-click and select New | Bin.

    Archive bins are automatically populated under FTPMDI node in the Navigator if those bins already exist on the FTP server.
