Main Dialog
The main dialog offers an informative and easy to use facility which allows you to view the current status of the FTP server. This dialog also allows access to all areas of the program.

Overall Status
There are 5 pieces of information on display, each one highlighting a different aspect of the server. The first line displays the overall status of the FTP server and the current listening port. The second line of information is the current number of users logged into the FTP server. The Data In and Data Out lines display the overall data transfer of the FTP server since it was last activated. The last line represents the current status of the Remote Admin facility, displaying how many current connections are established and how much data has been transferred.

Menus
There are several options available via the main menu. Each of these are described below...

• File > Start - This starts the FTP server and the Remote Admin facility.
• File > Stop - This stops the FTP server and the Remote Admin facility. By deactivating the FTP server, all current connections and files transfers will be disconnected.
• File > Switch to NT Service Mode - If you have enabled 'Run as an NT Service' option in the General Settings you will now be able to use this option. By selecting this you can put Ocean FTP Server into NT Service mode without needing to reboot. This ensures that the application loads with windows even before a user logs in.
