FTPd Subfolders

Post by Zaragosa »

How can I select subfolders of a shared folder structure?

ie. /Data is located on Volume1, which has several folders within (/Data/Backup, /Data/Install, etc). I want the ftpd to allow access to /Data/Install but not to /Data/Backup...?

Enabled ftp server, then create an account under access control, giving the user permissions to the varying folders (read/write/deny) as necessary. But no way to select subfolders for read/write/deny?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think this works, or at least seems to be for me.

After creating the ftp user or any user for that matter... (I created a specific user for ftp)... goto <access control> and set which folders and rights you want for that user. Now the user has rights for "all" sub-folders within that folder. Next, by going to <file explorer> you can select the sub-folder(s) that you do NOT want them to have access to.

Right click and select properties - permissions - and check box DA to deny access (for which ever level of user you had created). In my case I check box for other and my ftp user no longer has access to that sub-folder.

Check your user to see if all is done by logging in via <ftp explorer>, then try traversing the directory structure.

Hope this helps you,
cheers
