Configuring user settings

• To select user settings:

1. From the top menu, select Host > Host Details. The Host Details page opens.

   

2. Set the appropriate options.
   • Login location. Select the folder that should be displayed to users after successfully logging in.
     • Home folder. Users are shown their home folder after successfully logging in.
     • Root folder. Users are shown the root folder after successfully logging in.
   • Home folder. Enter the path of the user's home folder.
   • Auto-create users' home folders (selected by default). If selected, user folders are automatically created when a new user is added to this host.

     <Caution> If Auto-create user folders is cleared, users will be connected to the root directory even if Login location is set to Home folder. Administrators must manually create a home folder for the user before they will be able to log in to it. If the users are logged in to the root directory because they have no home folder, and the user is locked to his home folder, the user will not be able to see or do anything once logged on.

   • List all folders in /users folder. If selected, all users can view all folders in the /users folder. If cleared, all folders except the user's home folder are hidden.

     System and host administrators can always see all folders in the /users folder.

   • Grant full home folder permissions when creating user (selected by default). When selected, new users are granted full permissions to their user home folders when they are created.
   • Max number of connections (1000 by default). Enter the total number of users who can be logged in at any given time. This includes both anonymous and authenticated users.
   • Allow anonymous access. If selected, anonymous users can access the host.  If cleared, users must authenticate with valid credentials before they can gain access to the host.
   • Max number of anonymous connections (200 by default). Enter the total number of anonymous users per server who can be logged in at any given time. "Per server" here means that each different server--FTP and SSH--can have this number of connections. (For instance, if you have both FTP and SSH server installed, and this number is set to 200, it will be possible to have 400 anonymous connections, provided that the Max number of connections is 400 or greater.)
   • Account cleanup. Enter the number of days after which you want to delete expired user accounts. User account expiration settings are set at the user-level.
3. Click Save.
