Configuring local FTP user directories

Use the General tab to specify default values for local FTP user directories.
  1. Specify a Default Root Directory. By default, each FTP user's home directory is a subfolder under the directory you specify here.  Click the ... button to browse and select a directory. Alternatively, select a custom macro variable from the drop-down menu.  See Using Macro Variables for a list of the applicable macros (Default Root Directory context).  Once the change is applied, FTP users that are already configured to use the default root are switched over to the new default root.
  2. Specify the paths and names of Local User Subdirectories. These directories are automatically created under each user's home directory.  Each directory path specified should be a relative path. 

    The configured inbox and outbox directories can be easily referenced in the mailbox <collect> and <release> actions by using the %inbox% and %outbox% macros, respectively. See Action Tab

    If the sentbox directory is configured, when the user retrieves a file from the configured outbox, the VersaLexCleo HarmonyCleo VLTraderCleo LexiCom application places a user-accessible copy of the file in the sentbox directory.  If the receivedbox directory is configured, when the user stores a file in the configured inbox (either directly or via RNFR/RNTO), the VersaLexCleo HarmonyCleo VLTraderCleo LexiCom application also places a user-accessible copy of the file in the receivedbox directory. 
    Note: Files of the same name are overwritten.
    The following are rules that apply to AS3/FTP mailboxes:
    • The default inbox\ and outbox\payload\ subdirectories are always used, regardless of the settings specified in the Host > General panel, because vendor AS3 send and receive "choreographies" are established and published for interoperability certification and cannot be altered.  
    • Remote AS3 users must place all inbound payload files and MDNs in the inbox\ subdirectory. Outbound payload files can only be received from the outbox\payload subdirectory; outbound MDNs can only be received from the outbox\mdnsubdirectory.
    • Files placed in any other directory or subdirectory are not accessible by AS3 users and will not appear in any remote directory listings.
    • The sentbox and receivedbox subdirectories are not created or used in AS3/FTP mailboxes regardless of the settings specified in the Host > General panel due to the above security restrictions placed on all AS3 users.
    • In addition to the Inbox, Outbox, Sentbox and Receivedbox folders, additional folders can be specified in the Others field. Multiple paths can be added to Others separated by commas, semi-colons or carriage returns. Note that all paths must be relative and may not include reserved macro variables (for example, %mailbox%).
  3. The Archive Directories allow for a copy of the sent and received files to be saved in an additional location that, in most cases, is not accessible by the user.  Unlike the sentbox and receivedbox configured under the Local User Subdirectories, you can configure these directories to point to a network location by clicking the ... button; or you can select a custom macro variable from the drop-down list.  See Using macro variables for a list of the applicable macros (Default Local User Archive Directory context). See Specifying default host directories for information about setting up system-level directories and custom directory macro variables.
    If desired, the %mailbox% macro may be used as part of these directory definitions to filter files for non-LDAP users into separate subdirectories. Files written to these directories are retained with unique file names and will be archived if the Sent/Received Box Archive System Option has been enabled. See Specifying default host directories
