Topic: Access to i-bays

[Thomas Andersen]

I want to have a group of users with individual login and password to have access to some of my i-bays.

These i-bay are the only thing they should have access to. They do not need to have a home directory nor do the need an email account. And when they logon the only thing they can see is the list of i-bays they have access to.

Another thing is that the i-bay should only contain files so I do not need the three directories. Can I safely delete those and move the files to the root of the i-bay?

Thanks

The following will address the need to: -

"have a group of users with individual login and password to have access to some of my i-bays"

- and -

"the i-bay should only contain files so I do not need the three directories"

1) Create groups
2) Create Users and assign to groups
3) Create i-bay
3.1) Assign "Group" to i-bay
3.2) Assign "User access via file sharing or user ftp" Write=group, Read=group
3.3) Assign "Public access via web or anonymous ftp" No Access
3.4) Assign "Execution of dynamic content (CGI, PHP, SSI)" disabled

The user can then map a drive to the i-bay (or you can do this in a login script and include: - net use z: \192.168.0.1\my-ibay)

Not sure about: -

 "do not need to have a home directory"

- and -

"Can I safely delete those and move the files to the root of the i-bay?"

The access should only be via FTP and not directly.
