Configuring Rules
- In the left pane of the WS_FTP Server Manager, select the FTP host, and then select Rules. The Rules list appears in the right pane.
- In the Rules list, click Add. The first screen of the Rules wizard appears.
- Select the rule type you want to set up, then proceed through the screens and enter the appropriate information to set up the rule, including:
- File Mask. Specifies the types of files and folders to which this rule applies. Enter the file name or extension of the files to monitor. Multiple entries must be separated with a comma. For example: *.exe, readme.txt, *.gif, *.* (for all)
- Notification. (Optional) If you select to use a notification, this tells the rule who to notify of the event and how to contact them. If there are no notifications to select from, you may need to create a notification.
- Permissions. Specifies which users this rule will apply to and whether or not to permit the action.
- Click OK to add the rule to the list.
Remote Rule Configuration
To give you the ability to remotely configure rules, you must select the Enable remote rule configuration option on the General System Settings dialog.
