Adding an FTP user

You can add an FTP user in the NAS Manager.

1. Navigate to Home > File Services > FTP Users to display the FTP Users page.
2. Click add to display the Add User page.
   
   

   

   
   

   The following table describes the fields on this page:

   Field/Item	Description
   EVS / File System	Displays the selected file system.
   change	Enables you to select a different EVS / File System.
   User Name	The name with which the user is to log in. To allow anonymous logins to the mount point, specify the user name as anonymous or ftp.
   Initial Directory for the user	The directory in which the user starts when logging in over FTP. Click browse to navigate to and insert the path. Note: Automatically created directories are owned by the root user and group (UID:0 / GID:0) and are accessible to all users (that is, the permissions are set to rwxrwxrwx). It is recommended that these directories are created through CIFS or NFS, or that they are given the desired permissions explicitly after being created using this option.
   Path Options	The Create path if it does not exist option creates the path automatically when it does not already exist. If the file system is mounted read-only, for example it is an object replication target, it is not possible to create a new directory. Select a path to an existing directory.

3. Enter the user name. To allow anonymous logins to the mount point, specify the user name as anonymous or ftp.
   The password authentication service that you use determines whether users must log in with their NT domain name or UNIX user name.
4. In the Initial Directory for the user field, type the path to the directory in which the user starts when he or she logs in over FTP.
   Note: Automatically created directories will be owned by the root user and group (UID:0 / GID:0) and will be accessible to all users (that is, the permissions are set to rwxrwxrwx). It is recommended that such directories are created using SMB or NFS, or that such directories are given the desired permissions explicitly after being created with this option.
5. To create the path automatically when it does not already exist, select the Create path if it does not exist check box.
6. Click OK.
