Good day
I would like to ask for your help, to know how I can enable the FTP service in alfresco, it is implemented in Docker and the version is the one discussed in the subject.
Community - 6.1.2 (r589dc49b-b205)
Thank you so much
Typically, adding these properties in alfresco-global.properties should allow you to use ftp.
ftp.enabled=trueftp.port=21
You need to make sure the configured port is open for access. Configure docker-compose file to allow port access
ports:- "21:21"
Apart from the above properties there are few more settings if you have advance requirements. You can refer this documentation for details: https://docs.alfresco.com/6.1/concepts/fileserv-ftp-intro.html
Hi abhinavmishra14
Thanks for answering.
I am reviewing the documentation, but they talk about the admin console, but is this only for the enterprise version?
additionally I see a configuration for the docker-compose.yml file but I have not been able to make it work.
I attach my file to see if I am doing it wrong
docker-compose.yml
version: "2"

In JAVA_OPTS add the properties i mentioned earlier and see if that works. See highlighted. I don't see anything related to admin console here: https://docs.alfresco.com/6.1/concepts/fileserv-ftp-props.html
However, when you go to admin console, it will just show whether ftp is enabled or disabled.

yes, and give it a try:
FTP just works like a charm, I just added this in JAVA_OPTS of docker-compose.yml:-Dftp.enabled=true-Dftp.port=2121
added port to alfresco service:
edited alfresco/Dockerfile and added this line at the bottom:EXPOSE 2121
Use ACTIVE communication mode in the client in order to connect to Alfresco (port 21)
I recently started with docker and alfresco 6.x community. So far i was using 5.x community version.
I was also wondering about setup and all and i came across this tool on Alfresco github repository.
https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-docker-installer
I followed the instructions and i was able to setup the alfresco successfully. I haven't go to advance like enabling ftp etc. but i think this tool provides a lot of flexibility in configuration.
You may give it a try.
You are right, I just installed this yesterday and it just works. You can save some time.
Enabling ftp took me few minutes 🙂
I have one 5.x dockerized instance in production and I am testing the 6.x installed by this tool.
Best regards.
