### Automatically Starting FTPD

To start FTPD automatically when TCP/IP is started, select the Autostart tab, select FTPD in the Autostarted Services list box, and check the Autostart Service box under Autostart Options.

If you select the INETD Super Server Daemon as an alternative way to start FTPD automatically, any FTPD parameters specified on this page will be ignored.

If you choose to start FTPD in an OS/2 window foreground session, you can check the Minimized box to minimize the OS/2 window.

When the FTPD server is started, users on remote hosts can transfer files to and from your host. The TCP/IP Configuration Notebook lists the usernames, passwords, and access rights of the users who can FTP to your computer.

If you choose to automatically start FTPD in an OS/2 window foreground session, you can also specify FTPD parameters in the Parameters field.

Uncheck the Autostart Service box to disable automatic starting of FTPD when TCP/IP is started. This is the default.

#### FTPD Parameters

If you choose to automatically start FTPD without using INETD, TCP/IP can also process the following command parameters when specified from the Autostart tab:

-cp codepage
  Specifies the code translation to be used.

-p port
  Specifies the port that FTPD is to use. If no port is specified, FTPD uses the well-known FTPD port.
