Before Using Ws-FTP for the first time
you should change your password from the default password to one of your choosing.
To change your password you need to use the Telnet program see below:
Theory:
Before using Ws-FTP I strongly advise you to change the default password to one of your choosing. The default password is based on your first initial and date of birth in the format (xddmmyyyy) e.g. if your name is Rebecca Carr and you were born on the 21st of May 1980 your default password would be r21051980 This is not secure! When choosing a new password you must comply with the following requirements : The first 6 characters of the password must contain at least two alphabetic characters and at least one numeric or special character. |

Note: UNIX passwords are case sensitive - upper
and lower case The first 6 characters of the password must contain at least two Using the name of your pet or boyfriend/girlfriend is not
