Title: Problems with Ibays
Post by: iceman on February 04, 2006, 11:14:43 PM

I am having a problem with my server. I am running 6.5 I have some Ibays set up and several users. I would like my users to be able to access the ibay and upload files to it. I can't seem to get this to work. If I ftp with IE into the Ibay I can't upload. If I'm logged into ftp as a user with right to look at and write to that I bay I can't navigate to it. any help would be great thanks

Hey Iceman,

  I have the same problem, but with SME7.  My users use IE to FTP because they travel from PC to PC and don't really have the liberty to load special software on these PCs.

  I'm going to have a good hard look around here and see if there is an answer.

Iceman,

  Okay. Here is the same answer you got above, but with a bit more explanation.   FTP-ing into an ibay using the ibayname as the username and the ibay's password will log you in as an anonymous FTP user.  Anonymous usrs will not be able to upload files.   Uploading requires that you log in as an actual user.

  Possible solutions:

1.  Make them log in a cd to the appropriate directory.

2.  Create a user... not an ibay... and make them log into the user's directory.

I think #2 is going to work for me.

I tried the user ibay. It didn't work for me because the files need to be availble to everyone and in IE I haven't found awayto cd in to other folders
