Creating User Groups

You can create a user group and add any users on the FTP host to the group. You can then grant permissions for FTP folders by user group, rather than for each individual user.

To add a user group to the FTP host:

  1. In the left pane, expand the FTP host, and then select User Groups. The user groups list appears in the right pane.
  2. Click Add. The first screen of the wizard appears.

  1. Enter a name for the user group and click Next to continue. This can be from 2 to 20 alphanumeric characters.

  1. Enter a description for the group and click Next to continue.
  2. Click Finish to create the new group.

The user group appears in the list of groups for the FTP host.

To add users to the user group, select the group and click Edit. The group properties appear. See "Adding Users to the Group" below.
