Summary:
Is it possible to start the Citect FTP server without restarting Citect runtime?

We have a situation where the Citect FTP server has shut down (IT Glitch), while CitectSCADA itself is running and hence all the IDCs are now offline.

I would like to restart the FTP server without affecting Citect Runtime

 

Solution:
There is an "ftpsrv" command that can be run from DOS prompt to start the ftp server. (Go to the citect bin directory First).

E:\Program Files\Citect\CitectSCADA\Bin>ftpsvr -d -h"e:\program files\citect\citectscada\user\example" -r"e:\program files\citect\citectscada\user" -x"e:\program files\citect\citectscada\bin" -t900 -p21

(This is all one command)

Also replace the path to suit your directory structure.

====================================

Usage: ftpsvr [-d][-h<homedir>][-r<rootdir>][-x<denydir>][-l<

[-t<timeout>][-p<port>]

-d set debug mode on (default = OFF)

-h set <homedir> as the home directory for users (defaul

-r set <rootdir> as the root <lowest> directory for user

(default = c:\)

-x deny user access to this directory and all subdirecto

(default = EMPTY)

-i set <inetdir> as the internet directory containing id

(default = <rootdir>\Internet

-l printf log to this file (default = STDOUT)

-t set timeout to <timeout> seconds (default = 900)

-p listen on port <port> for clients (default = 21)
