Preface
About This Manual

This guide tells you how to install, configure and run the Perforce FTP Plug-in (P4FTP). For details about how to use or administer Perforce, see the documentation at http://www.perforce.com.

Why an FTP server?

P4FTP enables an FTP client to access files in Perforce depots. For example, you might store shareware in a Perforce depot and use P4FTP to enable non-Perforce users to download the files.

Many development tools commonly used in web development environments are not integrated with software configuration management (SCM) software. The majority of these tools have a built in FTP client for publishing developed works. The Perforce FTP Plug-in uses this built-in FTP client to enable you to use SCM software in conjunction with your web development tools. When you use P4FTP in place of standard FTP, your files are kept in a Perforce depot under version control.
