Edit Group Menu: Add directory association

At the Edit Group prompt, type 1 to add a new directory association. A sample session response is:

There are currently no directories associated with this account

New directory:

A Directory Association is a path that defines the directories and/or files that a particular user or group
can access via the HTTP (Web) Server on the NetLinx Master. This character string can range from 1 to
128 alpha-numeric characters. This string is case sensitive. This is the path to the file or directory you
want to grant access. Access is limited to the user (i.e. doc:user) directory of the Master. All
subdirectories of the user directory can be granted access.
A single '/' is sufficient to grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's sub-
directory. The '*' wildcard can also be added to enable access to all files. All entries should start with a '/'.
Here are some examples of valid entries:

By default, all accounts that enable HTTP Access are given a '/*' Directory Association if no other
Directory Association has been assigned to the account.
When you are prompted to enter the path for a Directory Association, the NetLinx Master will attempt to
validate the path. If the directory or file is not valid (i.e. it does not exist at the time you entered the path),
the NetLinx Master will ask you whether you were intending to grant access to a file or directory. From
the answer, it will enter the appropriate Directory Association. The NetLinx Master will not create the
path if it is not valid. That must be done via another means, most commonly by using an FTP client and
connecting to the FTP server on the NetLinx Master.
