General Considerations

The window is divided into four panes: the two top panes represent the local
file system; the two bottom panes represent the FTP file system. To share a
directory, drag & drop it from the top to the bottom. You can then
decide what access rights are affected to each share. Right clicking in the
bottom panes shows a context menu, which let you make several changes to your
shares. "deleted" files and directories are shown in grey.
Added directories as well as changes of access rights are colored in blue.
File and directories inherited from the group are colored in red.
In order to set the default directory ( initial directory when the user
logs ) you can right click on the new default directory then click on "set
as default directory". Or you can select it and click the D button on the
upper toolbar.
Context Menu &
Toolbar
It is only available on the two bottom panes.
Remove directory / Modification
This remove any modification made to the folder: if it was "deleted"
it is shared again etc... Any rights modification is removed. Any name change
is removed too. Note that if the directory was rename, every modification
made to any of its direct or indirect children is removed.
Add a virtual directory
Add a directory which point to nothing. Useful to organize your FTP directory
tree.
Set as default directory
Set the directory as the default directory when a user connect to your
FTP server. "/" is the default is none is specified.
Change name
Change the name of a directory (available only in the tree, not in the
file listing).
Remove all changes made in this directory
Remove all changes made to any of the children of the specified directory.
The selected directory itself is not affected.
- Set the realpath the directory is pointing to
Only available for the root ( root of the tree ). Set the real path the
root is pointing to.
- Set the directory to point to nothing
Only available for the root ( root of the tree). Set no real path to point
to. The root act as a pure virtual directory.
Access Rights Bar

- File Access Rights
When changing file access rights of a directory, you affect access rights
of the files of the directory. When you change the access rights of a file,
you are only changing the access rights of this file.
- Read
Grant read access. This allows downloading.
- Write
Grant write access. This allows creation of new uploaded files. If you want
to allow users to resume uploads, you must set the append access right.
- Delete
Grant delete access. Apart from the right to delete files, this also allows
renaming of them. Use with care. It does not apply to directories.
- Append
Grant append access. This does not allow uploading of new files like the
write access right, but allows to resume uploads as well as writing over
an actual file limit. Use with care, as a user can increase a file size,
thus making it unusable.
- Directories Access Rights
This applies to children directories of the directory you are changing access
rights.
- Inherit
Inherit means that this directory has exactly the same properties as its
parents. Those properties cannot be changed without removing inheritance.
- List
Grant list right of the directory. This allows user to make a list of the
directory, and know what are the files it contains. >
- Delete
Grant directory delete right. Users can, with this right, delete a directory.
- SubDirs Access
Grant access to sub directories. Without this right, users cannot have access
to sub directories.
- Make
Grant directory creation right. This allows users to create new directories.
- Text Box
This textbox shows the real path that matches the selected virtual path on
the FTP server.
- Default Directory
This text box indicates what is the current default folder when a user
connects to the server. You can change this by right clicking on the new default
folder and click "set as default folder". Or you can select it and
click on the D icon. (D stands for Default).
