I think I tried that before and it didn't work, I'll try again. Do you think this is the cause for virtual folders not to work? Also if I don't want them to be able to see other directories higher than theirs, what do I do?
Thanks.

Hi Alyssa,

If you take the "Lock users to home directory on" off, they can't see other users directories. They can back up and see other directories higher than their own, but they can't CD into them. So they can't see files that other users have.
By Security method, I meant the "Set User DB" button. Which security database are you using?
I don't know of any other manuals other than this help forum.

Hi James, thanks for responding very much. Yes, I do have "Lock users to home directory on". I don't want them to see each others folders, only their own. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by security method.
Any ideas why I can't add users to have permissions for a virtual folder.
Also, is there any documentation on the ftpserver except manual?
thanks so much.
I appreciate this so much.
Alyssa

Hi,


A couple of ideas. Do you have the default of 'Lock users to home directory' on? That would stop them from seeing other folders.


Also, what security method are you using? Ipswitch's database, or NT security or ?.

Hi everyone.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I hope someone can help me. I'm using WS_FTP server version 4. I have one host and about 6 users. One of the users is host/admn, others have limited permissions. I have users folders located in ftpsvc/host/users/ I also created few virtual folders.

My problem is that when users log on, they can't see their home directory. I want them to see users/user_name, and then their folders.
Also the only person that can have VIRTUAL folder is user with host/admin permissions. When I try to add other users to have permission to a specific folder, it doesn't allow me to do that. If I create a new folder, and add permission to a user, after refreshing, it shows permission for absolutely different user (the one that has admn/host permissions). Any thoughts will do.

Thanks so much in advance. Alyssa
