FTP and User Isolation w/ Virtual Directories : Unable to browse to Virtual Directory
I want to locked or isolate users to their home directory/s but would like to give them access to specific virtual directory/s.
Once the user logon, it will default to their home directory. The user will not be able to do an ls or dir from their home directory, leaving the virtual directories hidden. However, they should be able to cd to the hidden directories if given.
Below are my Configurations:
1. Created FTP Site (i.e. MasterFTP)
Mapped folder to c:\BLANK2\
Created User directory for FTPBob
C:\BLANK2\LocalUser\FTPBob
a. Basic Authentication (enabled)
b. FTP Authorization Rules (Allow, All Users, Read)
c. FTP Directory Browsing (MS-DOS, Virtual Direct, Avail Bytes)
d. FTP User Isolation (User name directory, disable global virtual)
2. I added a Virtual Directory named "Download" under MasterFTP site
Mapped "Download" folder to C:\Root
a. Download (Virtual Directory)
*Setup 2 rules
a. FTP Authorization (Allow, All Users, Read)
b. FTP Authorization (Allow, FTPBob, Read, Write)
I'm able to logon successfully, however I am unable to "CD" or Change Directory to my Virtual Directory called "Download"
Looks like the user is locked under C:\BLANK2\LocalUser\FTPBob but when I try to CD to the virtual directory it is looking in C:\BLANK2\LocalUser\FTPBob\Download instead of \Download
What I am expecting to happen is for the user to logon to their home directory, then CD to the virtual directory that I gave them access to. In this case, it would be \Download.
I should also be able to send them the direct link to access.(i.e.) ftp:\\user:pass@MasterFTP\Download
Perhaps I'm going at this the wrong way?
Any help will be appreciated.
