"Virtual Paths must be Unique" error

[PeligrosoDave]

I have two users set up and each have unique Native Paths assigned.

If I set the Virtual Path on both accounts to "/" I receive the error message "Virtual paths must be unique". Could someone please advise why this is the case? I would expect that when either user logs in, the "/" virtual path would simply take them to their root which would be their unique Native Path sub-directories. (BTW, if I set one Virtual Path to "/" and the other to "/A" the configuration window accepts it...)

Thanks!

That's an error that pops up in the Administration Interface solely when there are multiple virtual paths that are the same, for each specific user. Each user knows nothing about the other one.

Bar some weird bugs which I couldn't reproduce, can you confirm you really only have one "/" for each user as a virtual path? If you do, can you please share more details?

Ideally, a video like this to show the issue would be best: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eHHGhA ... sp=sharing

Oibaf,
While making the vid I realized that I had two Virtual Path / Native Path "Mount Point" entries for the 2nd account. I had thought the top one was for User 1 and the 2nd entry was for User 2. I deleted one and now it is working!

Attached screen capture shows where I had a 2nd "Mount Point" listed. Not sure why FZ allows for multiple mount points to be entered...maybe if a user wanted to send incoming FTP data to two different destinations??? However, it still would not allow since it won't accept the "/" for the virtual path as I found out accidentally...

Thanks for your assistance... I think I am moving ahead again!

The / is just the user's Home (virtual root directory). You can define further Mount Points and attach resources from completely different places, building a virtual directory tree. You just must not name any two Mount Points the same.

Example:

Code: Select all

 / → C:\ftproot
/otherdir → F:\foo

Here the contents of "F:\foo" will appear as a subdirectory "/otherdir" in the account's Home.
