5 Configuring the Server for FTP Access
This chapter describes how to configure the File Gateway server to share Avid NEXIS workspaces
using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The FTP functionality is done through Microsoft’s Internet
Information Services (IIS) and the FTP Service.
Avid recommends the following FTP client applications:
• Microsoft Expression Web 4
• FileZilla
• Core FTP LE
• SmartFTP Client
For information on configuring Microsoft FTP Server Sites, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/

About the FTP Server
TheFile Gateway server uses the Ethernet ports on the back of the server. Each port is dedicated to
specific network traffic. Avid recommends you rename these ports so they can be easily identified as
follows:
• Avid NEXIS Traffic
• CIFS_FTP Traffic
The Avid NEXIS Traffic port also requires a setting change. You must first set up your File Gateway
in your Avid NEXIS network before installing the software. For instructions on renaming the
network ports, see
“Setting Up Separate Network Traffic” on page 22 .
You set the access privileges to the Workspaces when you add the FTP users in the Windows
operating system.
The FTP service used in the Avid NEXIS File Gateway does not support Microsoft Windows Update
number KB2489256. If you have Windows Update set to run automatically, this update will fail.
Locate the KB2489256 update in the Windows Update list and set it to hidden so that this update
does not appear. To hide updates, right-click the individual update and select hide update.
The overall process for setting up an FTP server is to:
1. Create workspaces to be used for FTP access. See the Avid NEXIS Administration Guide .
2. Create an Avid NEXIS user (for example, “ftpuser”) and grant that user Read or Read/Write
access to the targeted FTP workspaces according to the access levels needed.
You must create FTP users on both the Windows operating system and the Avid NEXIS System
using the Management Console. The Avid NEXIS client user name and password must match
the user name and password on the Windows operating system. For instructions on creating Avid
NEXIS client users, see the
Avid NEXIS Administration Guide .
