Running Secure FTP Wrapper:

Running Secure FTP Wrapper couldn't be easier.

Windows

  • If you installed the option to run as a service (highly recommended), the wrapper will show up as a Windows Service. You can start/stop/restart the service like any Windows service.
  • If you chose not to install the wrapper as a service, you can start the wrapper by running the batch file ftpswrap.bat.

Mac OS X

  • By default we install a LaunchDaemon script which will run a properly configured wrapper on startup. You can find the script at /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.glub.secureftp.wrapper.plist
  • You can start the wrapper by opening a command shell, changing into the installation directory, and running ftpswrap.sh.
  • If you want to stop the wrapper, the only way to currently do that is to find the process and killing it.

Unix/Linux

  • You can start the wrapper by opening a command shell, changing into the installation directory, and running ftpswrap.sh.
  • If you want to stop the wrapper, the only way to currently do that is to find the process and killing it.
