Specifying the FTP Authentication Method
You use the Advanced pane of Configure FTP Service to specify the authentication method.
To specify the FTP authentication method:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click FTP and choose Configure FTP Service.
3 Click the Advanced tab.
4 Choose the type of authentication you want to use: Standard, Kerberos, or Any Method.
See “Kerberos Authentication” on page 248.
Configuring the FTP User Environment
You use the Advanced pane of Configure FTP Service to specify the user environment.
To configure the FTP user environment:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click FTP and choose Configure FTP Service.
3 Click the Advanced tab.
4 Choose the type of user environment you want to provide.
The “FTP Root and Share Points” environment sets up the Users directory as a share point.
Real users log in to their home directories, if they are available within the restricted
environment. Both real and anonymous users can see other users’ home directories in a share
point. (The directories are only accessible to users who have access privileges, however.)
The “Home Directory and FTP Root” environment logs real FTP users in to their home
directories. They have access to their home directories, to the FTP root, and to FTP share
points.
The “Home Directory Only” environment restricts real FTP to users’ home directories only.
Regardless of the user environment you choose, access to all data is controlled by access
privileges.
Anonymous users and real users who don’t have home directories (or whose home
directories are not located in a share point to which they have access) are always logged in at
the root level of the restricted FTP environment.
Viewing FTP Logs
You use Server Settings to view FTP logs.
To view FTP logs:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
