Problems
with Windows FTP server on engineers laptops whilst upgrading 3300
PBX software.
Generally this issue
is to do with Windows SP3 (Right click My Computer and select Properties and
check which service pack is installed).
Listed below is the
necessary steps required to get this installed.
First you will need
to disable the Windows FTP Server Service.
Install the
Filezilla Server software and just accept all the defaults (automatic windows
service etc.).
Launch the Filezilla
program you will see the window below.
Recommend selecting
‘Always connect to this server’ (hides this on launching)
Some basic
configuration is required before we can get started.
Navigate to Edit
then select users.
Click Add user and
user ftp
Make sure Enable
account is ticked.
Tick Password and
enter a password either @ or ftp (depending on the RTC settings)
Next select Shared
folders
Add the directory to
your FTP folder (normally C:\inetpub\ftproot)
Click OK and you are
ready to go
If you leave the
main window open whilst upgrading you should be able to see FTP events and
transfers into the 3300
One suggestion I
would recommend, especially for technicians that do lots of upgrades, setting up
separate users in Filezilla Server for each software version to keep from having
to make changes in Filezilla or forgetting to change the path and then
accidentally loading the same software version a second time in a row instaead
of the newer version (not a fun scenario!)
I use settings like this:
Version 9: User: ftp3300 Pass: @ Home Directory Path: C:\Program
Files\Mitel\3300ICP\9.0.3.29
MCD 4.0SP3 User: mcd40sp3 Pass: @ Home Directory Path: C:\Program
Files\Mitel\3300ICP\10.0.3.14_1
MCD 4.2SP1 User: mcd42sp1 Pass: @ Home Directory Path: C:\Program
Files\Mitel\3300ICP\10.2.1.13
