Creating an FTP Share

This section describes how to set an FTP share for a namespace and set access permissions for users.

Prerequisites

You have enabled the FTP service and set an FTP share authentication type.

Precautions

A user can be authorized to only one FTP share. If the user is authorized to access a new share, the original share permissions will be canceled. If you re-configure permissions for the user, the new permissions will overwrite the original permissions.

Procedure

  1. Choose Resources > Resources > Namespace.
  2. Select a desired account from the Account drop-down list in the upper left corner.
  3. Click More on the right of a desired namespace and select Create FTP Share.

    The Create FTP Share page is displayed.

  4. Set the name of the FTP share.

    • The name must be unique.
    • The share name cannot contain characters "/\[]:|<>+;,?*=#, start or end with a space, or be reserved name ipc$, autohome, ~, or print$.
    • The name contains 1 to 80 characters.

  5. Set users who can access the FTP share.

    1. In the Permission area, click Add.

      The Add User dialog box is displayed.

    2. Select users in the Available Users area. They will be automatically added to the Selected Users on the right.
    3. In the Permission area, set the permissions of the selected users. The share permissions include:

      When you select an audit log file system to create a share, only the View List and Download permissions are supported.

      • View List
      • Create Directory
      • Upload

        If you select this permission, you need to set the maximum upload bandwidth for individual files.

        • By default, the bandwidth is 0 KB/s. That is, the bandwidth is not limited.
        • The upload bandwidth ranges from 0 to 409600, in KB/s.
      • Download

        If you select this permission, you need to set the maximum download bandwidth for individual files.

        • By default, the bandwidth is 0 KB/s. That is, the bandwidth is not limited.
        • The download bandwidth ranges from 0 to 409600, in KB/s.
      • Rename
      • Delete
    4. Click OK.

      The system adds the selected users to the permission list.
