Topic: iBay Sharing - how can I do...

[m4oz!nh4]

Hi evereyone,

Now I have a clean install v7.3 and I'm running e-smith only server

It is the first time I am using the SME Server, (but i already read all the documentation to install and to configurate the SME server)

my question is: I already understand how the iBay works, but Can I create a sharing in a (sub folder) inside the one iBay ?

If anyone can help me, Thanks in advanced.

Not really. You can share the ibay, but anyone who has access to that6 can access any sub-folder in it.
If you want some group to have access to the sub-folder (and not have others gain access) use a second ibay instead of a sub-folder.

Use Groups to allow some people full access, some read-only access and others no access at all.

Cheers
Ian

Hi,
You do ALL configuring of the SMEserver (in terms of user access - ie Windows shares etc) through the server-manager web site.

Sometimes you need to connect to the server either directly (ie at the server keyboard) or using a terminal program (like PuTTY). You login as root, with the admin passsword, and run the "console" program - see the manual for this.

However, remember, 99% of what you want to do is done through the server-manager.

Cheers

Ian

It sounds like you really need to read the manuals again, and then a third time.

ie using server manager
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter8

and the ibays chapter
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter14

and the security chapter, so you can enable remote access to server manager
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter11

Are you really sure you need such a non-standard solution. Most of the times when people state theire problem or whishes here there are better more clearer alternatives brought up by the experts who arebrowsing the forums as well. Perhaps you would like to extend on your whises and desires as well, otherwise this post may help: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34693.0

In my reply, I meant DO NOT USE A sub-folder.

Use a SECOND IBAY instead.
ie have two separate Ibays.

That feature is not supported.

The links to the manuals and how to access and use server manager, were in response to your question:
"sorry to ask you but I can also create use a second ibay instead of a sub-folder using the web access to the server or I will need to to this directly in the Server machine ?"

Just create many ibays and configure groups/group ownership to control access to them.

Ok Ray, thanks

Now I have my answered question.

In fact, it was my problem, when I complicated a simple thing.

thanks all you guys !

Are you referring to controlling web access or local samba file sharing access ?

You can control web access using
http://wiki.contribs.org/Htaccess
 
You can control file sharing access using the techniques that are used in this howto, although it will need a complete rework to suit your situation
