 +## Enabling the Service
 +
 +The File Fabric's FTP/FTPS/SFTP service may not be enabled on installation.  To ensure that it is turned on and enabled, log in as smeconfiguser then become root and start and enable and start the service:
 +
 +```
 +su -
 +systemctl enable cloudftp
 +systemctl start cloudftp 
 +```
 +## Using an Additional Subdomain
 +
 +CloudFTP can be accessed using the File Fabric's FQDN.  Some customers may choose to create an additional FQDN for use by FTP clients, for example //ftp.myfilefabric.com//
 +
 +Since version 1901, File Fabric license keys have been bound to the FQDNs by which the File Fabric is accessed.  Before client programs can use the additional FQDN, you must obtain from SME Support a license key in which the FQDN has been encoded, and install that key on your File Fabric.
