Topic: externarl ftp upload

[fabiobizz]

I'm a new users of the forum and sme servers I have installed a sme server 8.0 because i'm interested for ftp plug-in.
I read the guide and now my server working. I set the permission of the users for full permission, but I can't upload files to my ftp server from internet explorer. I try to explain better: If I use Filezilla I can upload to my directory all file that i want, but i wan't use it.. I like to go with my internet explorer (ftp will use by windows client unfortunately).
If I open a windws folder the I write ftp://admin@000.000.000.000/  I can enter to my ftp but the funciont drug & drop doesn't work....(it is start to copy but an error appair due write permission to folder)

Anyone can tell me where I can fix it??

Thank very much in advance!!!

AFAIK Internet Explorer does not allow you to use the cd command, so you need to use a different ftp client if you want to upload files

Take a look at
http://wiki.contribs.org/Remoteuseraccess
it may help you redefine the home folder for users.


http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter14

Particularly see the section titled
Accessing the ibays

where it says

    * Note that users accessing the i-bay via FTP in this manner are not able to upload files to the i-bay. They can only download files from the i-bay to their client.
    * It is possible to upload files using FTP, but to do so you must login to the server with a valid user name, not the i-bay name. That user account must be a member of the group that has been given write permission for the i-bay (configured on the i-bay screen). You would then change to the i-bay directory (using the ftp command "cd ../../ibays/ibayname"). You will now be able to upload files from your FTP client to the appropriate directories.
