Network shares available using Windows Server 2008

[bkdezalia]

Trying to follow the directions in the below topic but using Windows Server 2008, #2 where you set up the 'Network Location' is different in Server 2008. Anyone got some guidance or updated steps to make this work with Windows Server 2008?

I would have asked in the topic but it is 'stickefied' and 'locked'!

Okay, found this was originally a feature request, and you'll have to make sure the permissions part is good, but it is as simple as editing the 'FileZilla Server.xml'

Currently in order to get a unc path saved for a user's home directory I have to:
1. create/save user with generic/normal path
2. shutdown filezilla server service
3. change filezilla server.xml in notepad (alter home path to unc for new user) and resave
4. start service

Here is a copy of what mine looked like...

Search the XML for the user you are wanting to have access to network share and edit the 'Permission Dir' with the UNC path, Example \\SERVER\Share

<Permission Dir="\\SERVER\Share">
<Option Name="FileRead">1</Option>
<Option Name="FileWrite">0</Option>
<Option Name="FileDelete">0</Option>
<Option Name="FileAppend">0</Option>
<Option Name="DirCreate">0</Option>
<Option Name="DirDelete">0</Option>
<Option Name="DirList">1</Option>
<Option Name="DirSubdirs">1</Option>
<Option Name="IsHome">1</Option>
<Option Name="AutoCreate">0</Option>
</Permission>
