FTP Subfolder Shares

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.

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.

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.

Re: FTP Subfolder Shares

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!

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.

Re: FTP Subfolder Shares

OK so at the end of all it works. But you can only share one subfolder from one share. What if i need to share a couple of folders from different shares?
