Installing on Solaris

ZIP Console Installation

To install using the ZIP file perform the following steps as a user with root privileges.  If you plan on running JSCAPE MFT Server as a non-root user under Solaris 10 or above, please consult the topic Auto-starting in Solaris 10 environments topic before continuing.

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

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

unzip install.zip

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.  Startup JSCAPE Secure FTP Server Service.  If you are auto-starting using an SMF script you may skip this step.  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:

Administration client settings > Connection settings

Server configuration > Launching the administrative client
