Can you do the same with version 4?

If you are using WS_FTP Server 5.0: You can solve your dilemna by taking advantange of the ability to Set any folder as user's home folder:

1. Create a virtual folder called USERX,
2. Set permissions for userX and UserZ as desired
3. Go into FOLDERS to propogate permissions to subfolders if desired.
4. UserX and set his home directory = virtual folder called userX
5. Repeat for UserY's home folder

Thanks,

Hi all,

I'm trying to work out the following configuration and can't seem to get
it to where I want. Here's what I'm trying to do.
All users are locked to their home directory.

I have user X with home directory users\X. This is a regular user.

I have user Y with home directory users\Y. This is also a regular user.

I have user Z with home directory users\Z. This user needs to be able
to put files in X and Y. I have set up 2 virtual directories. The
first is called X pointing to users\X and the second is called Y
pointing to users\Y. The permissions for both of these virtual
directories are set to user Z, and I have the checkmark set to "Include
in user home directory". So when Z logs in it should see X and Y, which
it does.

Here's my problem. Leaving things as stated above, X or Y can log in,
but they are in limbo somewhere. I cannot change directories or put
files or anything. To remedy this, I added permissions for X to the X
virtual directory and the same for Y. They are able to log in, but they
now have an extra directory (X and Y respectively) listed.

Is there a way I can get X, Y and any other user logged in without the
extra directory showing up? Is there a better configuration to use?
I'm still trying different things, but if someone has a suggestion I
would be grateful.

TIA,
Gary Carmichael
