October 31, 2025Oct 31 Is FTP supposed to be enabled or disabled upon startup?I'm 99% sure the answer is that FTP is supposed to be disabled upon boot. I remember my first unraid builds where FTP would start even though I disabled it. Now I have a need to have it enabled upon boot and I've noticed that is disabled after every reboot. I know of the User Script work around to start it after the array starts, but the Help section could use some clarification on what is default now. This screenshot is after a reboot.

October 31, 2025Oct 31 Good question. The Help text says it will always start Enabled on boot and this cannot be changed. Sounds a bit weird to me as I would have thought for security reasons it should default to disabled. Also very strange that the settings from the FTP server settings are not saved for subsequent boots..
October 31, 2025Oct 31 Author I think I remember a 6.x version changing the default from Enabled to Disabled. I just don't know exactly where/when. And yes, the help context is confusing. Probably an oversite of the text change when the default was changed. The User Script workaround works great though.
