Hi All,Apologies if this has been asked/answered elsewhere. I am trying to create a new FTP user account for a friend to only allow access to a specific folder. All my files are stored under "/c/Files" but I only was to give this user access to a subfolder of this share "/c/Files/Videos". Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how to accomplish this?Thanks in advance.Chris

Hello,You can not give access to a file/folder to a remote user. You can however create a new share and only allow that user to connect to that share to access the files/folders.Support Resources - Forums:Prosafe: http://forum1.netgear.com ReadyNAS: http://www.readynas.com/forumProsecure: http://prosecure.netgear.com/community/forum.phpContact support or register a device1-888-NETGEAR (638 - 4327) Option 4 for technical supporthttp://my.netgear.comKnowledge basehttp://support.netgear.com

I think this is unbelevable!! I´ve tried to make this work but without any progress. I modern product as the readynas should have this function, It´s a basic level of networking function.//Johan

someone should write add-on for real FTP server. I need to share one folder too. And i don't want to create another share for that!

There already is an add-on for that.-Stefan

Oops, my fault. While there actually is an add-on for that for the Sparc platform I just found out that it hasn't been released to the public yet. Sorry.

I'll see what I can do but since I'm on the road I don't have access to my files. In any case I should be back in my office in about a week and could send you a copy then.
