By default, the Central Server Of of Control software works via FTP in a passive mode, and this requires adding the range of ports to which the Central Server Of of Control software will connect in the FTP server settings. It is possible to switch to the active mode. To do this, it is necessary to set the 0 value for the PassiveModeForFTP registry key (for details, see Registry keys reference guide).

The FTP server for the Central Server Of of Control operation should be configured on the side of each Server Of of Control as follows:

1. Create a user with administrator rights in the system.

   Info
   title Note
   The password validity period for this user should not be limited in time.

   
   

2. If IIS is not installed, install it:
   1. Open the Control Panel → Programs and Features → Turn Windows Features on or off.
   2. In the IIS Services section, select the checkboxes next to the FTP Service and IIS Management Console components.
      

   3. Click OK.

3. Open Computer Management and in the Services and Applications section (1), select IIS Manager (2).

   1. In the Connections area, select the Sites folder (3), and then in the Actions area, click the Add FTP Site... link (4). As a result, the Add FTP Site window appears.

      

   2. In the FTP site name field (5), enter the name of the FTP site.

   3. In the Physical path field (6), or using the  button, specify the path to the FTP directory. By default, the FTP directory is located at <Axxon PSIM installation directory>\Vhost\DATA\FTP\. You can change this directory using the FtpPath registry key (for details, see Registry keys reference guide).

      Info
      title Note
      To increase the performance of data exchange, it is recommended that the export directory (see Specifying the export directory) and the FTP directory are located on the same disk.
