Modifying FTP users

You can modify FTP users in the NAS Manager.

1. Navigate to Home > File Services > FTP Users.
2. Fill the check box next to the user to display or modify, and click details.

   The following table describes the fields on this page:

   Field/Item	Description
   File System	Displays the file system which owns the FTP user.
   Change	Click change to select a different file system.
   User Name	Displays the FTP user name.
   Initial Directory for the user	This directory is the location where the user starts after logging in over FTP. You can change the directory by typing the path to the new directory. You can click the browse button to find the required directory. This directory is the location where the user starts after logging in over FTP. 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 such directories are created using CIFS or NFS, or that such directories are given the desired permissions explicitly after being created by this option.
   Path Options	Click the Create path if it does not exist check box to create 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. Modify settings as needed:

   • In the File System field, you can click change to select a different file system.

   • In the Initial Directory for the user field, you can change the directory by typing the path to the new directory. You can click the browse button to find the desired directory. This directory is the location where the user starts after logging in over FTP.
   • In the Path Options box, you can fill the check box Create path if it does not exist to create the path automatically when it does not already exist.
4. Click OK.
