ftp permissions

So I normally view an manage files in my shares on my Duo (radiator 4.1.9) via my explorer from a pc on the lan (logged in as a user).

I had a family member, who is also a user on the Duo, shoot me some picture files via ftp (for convenience).

Obviously, the problem is I cannot manage the files (relocate them) the way that I normally do unless I'm logged in as an admin.

Two questions-

1) How do I log myself out of the explorer connection and then back in as my admin account (that's CIFS, right?), and
2) Is there a simpler way for the ftp to be setup so that I can manage the transfered files with my user account?

Thanks

  • hello,

    You can map your share and set to login with different credentials. Right click on Computer-> Map network drive and second option "Connect using different credentials". For second question. Enable ftp file protocol services and enable ftp for shares.
