This document provides instructions for setting up a local FTP server to work with the installer for Parallels Pro Control Panel (formerly known as Ensim Pro) for Linux®. For simplicity, Parallels Pro Control Panel for Linux is referred to as "Parallels Pro Control Panel" throughout this document.
By default, the installer downloads the requisite Red Hat Package Manager (RPMs) and files from Parallels Pro FTP server during the installation of the Parallels Pro Control Panel. Since remote installations consume a large amount of bandwidth resources and time, you can set up a local FTP server that mirrors Parallels Pro Control Panel FTP server for faster installations. This will enable the installer to download the required files from the local FTP server instead of Parallels Pro Control Panel FTP server.
