Adding new users to a site

You can add new users through the GlobalSCAPE Secure FTP Server Administration Interface. If you are using NT or ODBC authentication you may also add users through their interfaces.

 

To add a new user to a site

  1. Start the Administrator Interface and connect to the server.

  2. On the menu bar, choose Configuration > Create New User from the menu bar. The New User Account Setup window will appear.

  3. In the Site list, choose an FTP site for the user.

  4. Enter the new user's First Name and Last Name. The server will automatically create a Username in the format of [firstinitiallastname]. You may overwrite this if you like.

  5. Enter and confirm the User Password for accessing the server.

  6. Select a Password Type from the drop-down list.

  7. Add a Description for the user.

  8. Click Next.

  9. In the Place user in the following User Setting Level list, choose a user setting level for the user.

  10. Select both the Create user home folder and Grant FULL permissions... check boxes to automatically create a user folder located in the site root folder and to give the user full permissions to the folder.

  11. Select the Allow SSL Support check box to allow the user SSL connections to the site. This will not force SSL connections.

  12. Click Next.

  13. In the Not a member of pane of the Setup user groups section, select any groups where you want the user to be a member and click the left arrow button . By default, all new users are members of All Users.
