Introduction How to Begin File TransfersPrint this Page
File Transfers
It is highly recommended to keep a copy of your WebPAC files on a machine separate from the Millennium server. This is of particular advantage when using third-party web development software, but also serves as a backup in the event that files are changed.

When moving files in and out of the Millennium server, you can elect to use the File Transfer Software (FTS) functions in Web Master mode of Millennium Administration. Alternatively, you can use a third-party client with FTP capabilities.

If you choose to use Millennium Administration Web Master mode, you can either move files to and from your desktop or to and from a remote server. This has the advantage of conducting all your work in one place.

File transfer with many third-party clients has the advantage of a graphical interface (drag and drop); can offer access to multiple servers; can allow users with no Millennium experience to transfer files to and from the Millennium server; and can offer more sophisticated editing tools.

If file transfer is with a third-party product, then you need to specify the IP address of that server and supply the username and password to access that server. It must not be blocked from the Millennium server via firewall or other means.



Third-party FTP clients must have access to the Millennium server. Provide this access via Limit Network Access Innovative Guide & Reference, Page# 101731: N > Limit NETWORK access.

If you choose to use a third-party client, you need to supply the following details to connect with the Millennium server:

IP: IP address of the server Port: 1021 Username: liveftp (for the live server) or staging (for the staging server) Password: Set in telnet via the pathway.

A > ADDITIONAL system functions
A > ALTER system parameters
S > SYSTEM codes
W > Edit WWW HTML Screens
1 > Change password for 'liveftp' FTP Loading account
2 > Change password for 'staging' FTP Loading account

In most cases, the FTP client should be set to passive.
