Once you have installed the Virtual SFTP server on your preferred platform, you are ready to connect to the web interface and start the server configuration.
A setup wizard performs the initial configuration. This wizard prompts you for the minimal set of configuration items required to set up your server so that it's ready to serve files upon completion of the wizard.
Connect your browser to the server you installed Virtual SFTP on. Remember to add the server port to the URL if you choose a non-standard port.
https://<server>[:port]

There are 3 types you can choose from. This does not preclude you from using other strategies later down the line, this is just a choice for the initial setup of your server.
