The Windows Server Core has a very limited graphical shell with the command prompt. In addition, there are fewer targets that can be exploited and attacked. The Windows Server Core has less exposed services. We shouldn’t overlook the security aspect of such solution. In addition, today, when most of the servers are virtualized, we can have higher density of the VMs per a virtualization host. The benefit of such solution is that we will need less resources on the server side. Now we have the solution – the FileZilla FTP server running on the Windows Server Core. Therefore, we do not need the GUI on the server side. The whole process of graphic representation of available data is carried out on the client side. In addition, the entire process of data exchange via FTP protocol does not require any server-side visualization. However, when we need a larger amount of the traffic or to server more users, the server side solution is only reasonable choice. The desktop side solution is useful for a small installations.

We can use it either as a desktop side solution or as a full server side solution. The end goal is to upload converted audio files via a script into a subdirectory in the public directory.FileZilla FTP server is a very popular open-source solution.

I googled this and it seems this is a common problem for many people regardless of NAS manufacturer. Naturally, I really do not want to be able to upload anonymously, but thought it is worth a try. That is I cannot upload using the admin credentials, a regular user’s credentials or anonymously. However, if I try to upload a file, for example Uploadtest.txt, to the public directory I get this error message:Īccess failed: 553 Users may not upload files (/public/Uploadtest.txt) I can use the command line ftp program LFTP to transfer files from my Linux laptop to directories I have created on the Ex2 Ultra.

I can use Filezilla to ftp into and upload files to any share on my Ext2 Ultra from computers on my local wifi network.
