Multiple directorys for one user?

#1 Post by Goofdrop » 2008-12-11 01:35

Well I've been trying to do this for a real long time with Filezilla, I'm trying to give one user two different directorys to choose from when they login. Every time I try and add two folders to the Shared Folders sections it shows them only the Home directory and nothing else. How do I fix this to show both of the folders that I've given them permissions on in their home directory? Also any tips on bringing up the speed in which people download at? I have enough bandwidth to sustain downloads of over 1 mbp/s and no one including friends on the same ISP can download faster then 700 kbp/s with no limit selected.

Following is an example of what you want:
1. Open admin interface
2. Select Edit
3. Click Users
4. Click on the user
5. Click on Shared folders

Now you see the user's folders.

Code: Select all

H F:\FTP
   H:\Downloads
   J:\UserSpace
Right now the only folder the user can see is F:\FTP. Which is the home folder.

To fix this you would:
1. right click on the H:\Downloads
2. Select Edit Aliases
Pop up window will appear.
3. type in: F:\FTP\Downloads
4. then click OK.

Code: Select all

H F:\FTP
   H:\Downloads         F:\FTP\Downloads
   J:\UserSpace
For them to be able to see UserSpace
1. right click on the J:\UserSpace
2. Select Edit Aliases
Pop up window will appear.
3. type in: F:\FTP\YourSpace
4. then click OK.

Code: Select all

H F:\FTP
   H:\Downloads         F:\FTP\Downloads
   J:\UserSpace         F:\FTP\YourSpace
Click OK.

Now when the user logs in they will see two folders: Downloads and YourSpace.

I can tell you that filezilla is not the problem.
Lan only transfers I get 11+Mb/s. I use the no limit setting.

Note that virus checkers, malware scanners and firewalls often check and inspect traffic on the fly, causing a gread reduction in speed. Not the fault of the FTP software in this case.
