Adding multiple sharing folders to an account

#1 Post by Johnohol » 2009-10-26 13:19

Okey.. were to begin..

Im a newbi until this point.. Been using several types of Server progs; ex, zFTP, Golden FTP server.. and found zFTP to be pretty plain and simple to add multiple folders to share..

Now I want to use FileZilla Server and Im able to connect.. but only at one HDD
Iv got several HDD's and Folders I wish to share with a sertain usergroup, called: Standard

But i need help setting it up..

Home directory is the first directory you see after logging in. In the servers filesystem it's named root, symbol is /. Hint: The shared home directory has a H besides it.

For all dirs other than the home dir, just enter an alias.

Ex. Your home dir is C:\, and you also want to share D:\.

Example 1 - Short alias

Code: Select all

Directories  | Aliases
H C:\        |
  D:\        | /D
Example 2 - Long alias

Code: Select all

Directories  | Aliases
H C:\        |
  D:\        | C:\D
Then a D subdir will appear under the root. Note: zFTP allows to 'mix' the contents of multiple directories, FZ Server can't do that.

Instead of /D, you can also use /D_Movies, if you wish. Don't use colons.

Is there a way to add network folders under windows 7?
Before you refer me to that other sticky, please note that for step 3 the network locations node was not in the list.

ie:
Map network drive as M:\Servers (Default)

H C:\Program_Files\Servers
M:\ /Server2

I tried this, the Server2 folder appeared but was empty.

First, check that the server service runs under an account that can actually access network resources. If you create a new account for the service, that account needs to have the "Can logon as a service" OS privilege.

Second, if UAC is enabled, assigning drive letters to resources while being in normal user mode (without Elevation) do not exist for the service (which runs Elevated, aka on different privilege level). Try to assign the drive letter while being in Elevated state (e. g. via net use from an Administrator command line shell).
