Hello morrissey-ingeniousor anybody else:
I'm trying to grant access for our web-developer to only one specific folder (websites). We have many users on this machine, but only users with the right to manage the server (Admin rights) can access the server via FTP. I have seen in the screenshot of Figaro_krskthat there should be an panel to set FTP rights individually. Unfortunately my FTP Control panel in blank:
Can anybody figure out how I can set FTP correctly?
Thank!
I think you only see user-permissions panel in FTP (like Figaro_krsk screenshot) when you "Websites Root" (or maybe also "Websites"). If you use a custom share for FTP, which it looks like you're doing, then you won't get that panel. I have a custom setup, I see what you see with your screen shot -- lots of white.
To give others FTP rights say on a custom share, in Server, you need to make sure they can use the FTP service itself:
1. Under "Accounts", select "Users"
2. Highlight/select the User you to give FTP access to.
3. Click the gear, and select "Edit Access to Services"
4. Make sure "FTP" is selected
That makes sure they can use FTP.
Then If you need further fine-grained control over the share, then you can tweak the permissions on the share itself. So, you may need to check the permissions on the share you've designated "151_straub", make sure the web-developer has permissions on 151_straub.
Probably the most detailed way is in Server -> under "Hardware", select your server -> select "Storage" tab. Navigate to folder, then select the gear and pick "Edit Permissions".
