Configuring local FTP users

Note: This feature is being deprecated. For protocols other than AS3, use a Users host. See Users Host for more information. For AS3, you can continue to use the FTP Users host and mailbox until further notice.

Note: This section applies to the Cleo VLTrader and Cleo Harmony applications only.

When you start your FTP server for the first time, no users are defined and therefore no access is granted to your server.

In the Templates pane, open the Other folder, and then clone and active the preconfigured Local FTP Users local host. See Activating a host from a template.
Specify default directories for all Local FTP users. See Configuring local FTP user directories.
Configure access for FTP users. See Configuring access for FTP host users.
Add a new mailbox to create a new FTP server login.

You can either clone the default myTradingPartner mailbox or create a new mailbox.

Local FTP user mailboxes can have actions, but unlike remote host/mailbox actions that perform remote host operations, local FTP user actions can only perform local host operations that manipulate files within the user's home directory. See Action Tab.

FTP Users can be either generic FTP users, AS3 users, or LDAP users. See Configuring FTP for Local FTP Mailbox, Configuring AS3 for Local FTP Mailbox, and Configuring LDAP for Local FTP Mailbox, respectively.

You can create multiple Local FTP Users local hosts, which allows you to group users with the same host properties together. User names (for example, Local FTP user mailbox names) will remain unique across all Local FTP Users local hosts.
