Figure this deserves its own thread:

Okay so this whole FTP/Webdav thing is really difficult to figure out. i've read through all the Plone and Zope documentation and I still am lost. Here's what I have done:

My Plone Controller says:
Plone HTTP: 80
Zope Management HTTP: 8080
FTP Access: 21
WebDAV Source: 8280


I edited (in notepad) the zope.conf file to say:


[quote] # <ftp-server>
# # valid key is "address"
# address localhost:21
# </ftp-server>

# <webdav-source-server>
# # valid keys are "address" and "force-connection-close"
# address localhost:8280
# force-connection-close off
# </webdav-source-server>
[/quote]

I stop and started plone, flushed every cache I could think of and I still can't access anything through FTP (leechFTP) or webdav.

Leech is in PSV mode. and I am inputing "localhost" as my host, 21 as my port and my username and password. I get a "socket error: no connection" and "All login attempts failed."

When I try to access through webdav I input ftp://localhost:8280 i get this:

[quote]Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you gtyped the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: A connection witht he server could not be established.[/quote]

SOme one please help I have no clue where I am going wrong???

Go into the ZMI and look at the control panel, you should see something like:

[quote]
Network Services
ZServer.HTTPServer.zhttp_server (Port: 8080)
ZServer.FTPServer.FTPServer (Port: 21)
[/quote]

If you don't it didn't start up.

I'll check that out when I get home. I realized last night that I needed to remove the '#' in order for it to work. That got the FTP to work, but the webdav is still having problems since I am trying to connect to a localhost. That workaround is a bit difficult for my novice brain to wrap itself around, so I'll just stick to FTP for now.

Just remember that it has to be on its own port. If you have another Webdav server running, it will crap out.
