FTP Info

[Mute101]

Hi,

I'm rather new at this as I haven't much experience with Novell but I seem to be having an odd problem.

When I set up an FTP user if I give Write but not Read the user cannot upload or download. If i give Read but not Write the user can upload and download. Shouldnt these rights options give one but not the other?

Also when I add a new user I am adding them to FTPREST.txt and then have to restart NWFTPD to be able to use the user details, is there another way to do this so my FTP service isnt stopped when I need to add a new user?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Well, one thing you could do with the new users is not use FTPREST.txt to control and define them. Use a wildcard domain to restrict all users, and then use the NDS account and file trustee assignments to manage the permissions.

Hi,

Thanks for your input but it really doesn't mean much to me. Could you possibly point me in the direction of some online documentation regarding FTP server set up's as I'm having difficulty locating anything useful.

Many thanks again
Simon
