Installing on AIX

GZIP Console Installation

To install using the GZIP file perform the following steps as a user with root privileges.

1.  Place the install.tar.gz file in a directory on the destination server.

2.  Install. Run the following commands from the directory containing the GZIP file you placed on your server:

gunzip install.tar.gz

tar -xvf install.tar

3.  Configure Administration Service.  Go to the JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory, located in the JSCAPE_MFT_Server directory relative to where the unzip command was executed, and run the following command:

./config -host [ip address] -port [port] -password [password]

For example:

./config -host 200.12.19.201 -port 10880 -password secret

This will configure your JSCAPE Secure FTP Server Service, where [ip address] and [port] are the IP/port that you want the JSCAPE Secure FTP Server Service to listen on and [password] is the password you will use when connecting to the service.  This service is what you will connect to using the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager to manage your server.        

4.  AIX systems are typically configured to run the IBM JVM, therefore it is necessary to make some changes to the ssl.cfg file in order to instruct the JVM on what security provider and encryption algorithm to use for starting up the JSCAPE Secure FTP Server Service.

See Running under IBM JVM for complete details and instructions.

5.  Startup JSCAPE Secure FTP Server Service.  From the JSCAPE MFT Server installation directory run the following command:

./start_service.sh

The JSCAPE Secure FTP Server Service should now be running.  To connect to this service and manage your server see the following topics:

Server configuration > Launching the administrative client
