How to register portable version as a service
After extracting the portable .zip package, you can register the server and Web Administration as Windows services. Running them as services ensures they start automatically on boot and run in the background without requiring an active user session.
This requires administrator privileges.
If you used the .exe installer, services are already registered. See Installation.
Register the SFTP server service
- Open an elevated command prompt and navigate to the directory where you extracted the
.zippackage. - Install the service using
burusftp svc install:burusftp.exe svc install - Start the service using
burusftp svc start:burusftp.exe svc start
The RebexBuruSftp service will now start automatically when the system boots.
Register the Web Administration service
- Register the service using
burusftpwa svc install:burusftpwa.exe svc install - Start the service using
burusftpwa svc start:burusftpwa.exe svc start
The RebexBuruSftpWA service will start automatically when the system boots, with the Web Administration listening on http://localhost:8880.
