Hi,
Thanks for reply, I have been through all the shares on the NAS. I can't see any guest access enabled. Infact I can't see a guest access option at all? The FTP connection seem to connect fine. The problem is, when each user connects via FTP, they are connecting to the same share folder "websites", as a result they all have RW permissions on all three subfolders. What I am looking for is a solution where each users FTP connection has rw permission for their subfolder only. I know this would be possible if I set each subfolder as it's own share folder, but then i am unable to redirect incoming http traffic to more than one share folder. So... essentially what I am asking, is there a way to set ftp share access on subfolders of a share, or is there a way to redirect incoming http to more than one share folder? Either way would solve my problems.
