Manage FTP shares

Restrictions and guidelines

• For an FTP share to take effect, you must configure a NAS group and assign NAS servers to the group.

• By default, anonymous users cannot access FTP shares.

• For anonymous access users, the default shared directory is /ftp. If the /ftp directory does not exist when you enable anonymous access, the system creates the directory automatically. If the /ftp directory already exists, the system configures the directory as the FTP shared directory for anonymous access users.

• Anonymous access users do not have renaming or deletion permission
