Manage Advanced Shared Folder Permissions
The page at Control Panel > Shared Folder > Edit > Advanced includes the below options in order to further fine-tune the access permissions of a shared folder.
Advanced Share Permissions
Advanced share permissions offer an additional layer of control to manage the access permissions of shared folders. When enabled, users and groups can view or modify the contents of a shared folder only if the user or group has been granted both advanced share permissions and Windows ACL permissions (located at Shared Folder > Edit > Permissions).
To enable advanced share permissions:
- Tick the box Enable advanced share permissions.
- Click Advanced Share Permissions to modify the advanced share permissions for the shared folder.
Note:
- Advanced share permissions are applied when a user accesses a shared folder via the following file services: Windows File Sharing, Apple File Sharing, File Station, FTP, and WebDAV.
Advanced Settings
If necessary, you can place further restrictions on users when they access a shared folder via File Station, FTP, or WebDAV.
- Disable directory browsing: Enabling this option restricts users from viewing the contents of the shared folder.
- Disable modification of existing files: Enabling this option restricts users from moving, deleting, or modifying files in the shared folder. Please note users will still be able to view, download/upload, copy, or unzip the contents of the shared folder.
- Disable file downloading: Enabling this option restricts users from downloading the contents of the shared folder.
Note:
The above restrictions do not apply to users who belong to the administrators group.
