Hiding Directories

Post by cjr1976 »

With previous FTP Server Software I have used, I have been able to give someone access to a certain directory (say c:/ftp) and then hide other directories under this one by removing all access to them. For example, I could give access to C:/ftp, but hide c:/ftp/pictures by adding the directory to the user and then un-checking all attributes. I can't seem to get this to work with Wing FTP. In fact, it gives the user all access to the directories instead. I want to try and keep my directory structure in tact. Is there a way to hide specific directories from specific users?

Yes, I know it. We are considering to implement this feature "subdirectoies permission". Maybe you will see it in the next release.

Is this function now active in the current release ?
We need to hide the name of the operator to others and we need to hide a lot of subfolder.

OK, you can set the subfolder permissions under "User > Subfolder", but you can't hide the specified folders under the root folder.
