WS_FTP Server - How to backup WS_FTP Server

Question/Problem: How do I backup WS_FTP Server?

Answer/Solution: Most of WS_FTP Server's configuration settings are in the registry. Run regedit. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ipswitch Select the iftpSvc key and Export to a file under the Registry menu. This saves most of the system configuration settings and all user information. You should also make a backup copy of the WS_FTP Server directory and the Security directory. 

Your custom Messages are stored in the $banner.txt, $goodbye.txt and $welcome.txt files. Control Access is stored in the domain.acc file (replace "domain" with your FTP Server domain name). The foldername.acc files located in the Security directory contain the permissions that you have assigned to your folders.

You should also make a backup copy of the WS_FTP Server directory tree (that is, the c:\iFTPSvc folder).
