Configuring local SSH FTP user directories

  1. Specify a Default Root Directory. By default, each SSH FTP user's home directory is a subfolder under the default root directory specified here.  Click [...] 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, SSH FTP users 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 must be a relative path. 

    The configured inbox and outbox directories can be easily referenced in the mailbox <collect>and <release>  actions by use of the %inbox% and %outbox% macros, respectively. See Configuring local FTP users.

    See Specifying default host directories for more information.

    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, 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.

    In addition to the Inbox, Outbox, Sentbox and Receivedbox folders, additional folders can be specified in the Others field. Multiple paths can be added (one path per line) in the Others field. Note that all paths must be relative and cannot 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, these directories can be configured to point to a network location by clicking [...]; or a custom macro variable may be selected from the drop-down list.  See Using macro variables for information about 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.
    You can use the %mailbox% macro 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 are archived if the Sent/Received Box Archive System Option is enabled. See Other system options
