Hi FileZillaers

  Can FileZilla Server support directory filler with wildcard character, in some situation different department or in the same department ,
directory authorization can be divide to several kinds on absolute pathname level with wildcard character supported.
otherwise for a same department, for authorization of similar path whit little difference we must create different groups, this is extremely inconvenient.
Any one Who can offer some advice to solve this problem ,any help will be great, thanks.

I don't understand, something must have been lost in translation. Can you please elaborate?

WoW it is very surprising to met wet admin ,first of all thanks for your reply .
for example in projectA ,userA need to access several directory ,the path are like below

\projectA\sale\userA
\projectA\construction\userA

can the Permissions rule wrote as "\projectA\*\userA" for the authorization path in the xml configuration under the userA node ,
if it can not will it be support this path wildcard feature in the future.

Interesting idea.

Unfortunately no, this is not currently possible.

The solution is to make the "userA" part of a group, then set up those native paths in the group like this:

<drive letter: or network share>\projectA\sale\:u
<drive letter: or network share>\projectA\construction\:u

(notice the :u placeholder, it stands for the user name).

Of course, you can make more users part of the same group.

I know you said the group solution is not ideal, but I supposed you might not know about the ":u" placeholder, since it's not publicly advertised in the new server.
