WildCard For Folders

Post by mmbmmbmmbmmbmmb »

Please help me to use wild card (* , ?) for folder name.
ex.

Folder structure:
d:\folder1
d:\folder1\f1
d:\folder1\f1\Mr.a
d:\folder1\f1\Mr.b
.
.
.
d:\folder1\f1\Mr.x
d:\folder1\f2\Mr.a
d:\folder1\f2\Mr.b
.
.
.
d:\folder1\f2\Mr.x
d:\folder1\f3\Mr.a
d:\folder1\f3\Mr.b
.
.
.
d:\folder1\f3\Mr.x

I want to use this type of access to folder to Mr.b:
"d:\folder1\*\Mr.b"
Is it possible?
If it is not, is there any solution?
I know that it is possible in serv-u.

Thanks

I guess you referred to subfolders' permissions. Yes, Wing FTP Server doesn't support wildcards for subfolder's path, you must specify a full path. For your requirement, you can add several subfolder permission rules.

The solution is adding several subfolder rules. If you want to use Lua API, you can use "c_AddUser" or "c_AddGroup" to modify an user or group.

You mean it is possible to simulate what i need with "c_AddUser" and "c_AddGroup" ?

I just meant if you want to add user or group via Lua Webservice, then you can use Lua API "c_AddUser" or "c_AddGroup". Otherwise, just add it on the admin console, and in its "Subfolder" tab, you might add some subfolder permission rules for your requirement.

Do you think this feature will add to the wingftp in the future?
It is very important for me.

Wing FTP Server doesn't support wildcards for subfolder permission, so you just need to add a few subfolder permission rules.
