Accessing shares
Clients can access an FTP share by specifying a URL in their Web browser, such as Internet Explorer.
In the following URLs, IP_address:port is the IP (or virtual IP) and port configured for the share.
• For a share configured with the anonymous parameter is set to true, use the following URL:
ftp://IP_address:port/
• For a share configured with a userlist and having the anonymous parameter set to false,
use the following URL:
ftp://<ADDomain\username>@IP_address:port/
NOTE: When a file is uploaded into an FTP share, the file is owned by the user who uploaded
the file to the share.
If a user uploads a file to an FTP share and specifies a subdirectory that does not already exist,
the subdirectory will not be created automatically. Instead, the user must explicitly use the mkdir
ftp command to create the subdirectory. The permissions on the new directory are set to 755. If
the anonymous user created the directory, it is owned by ftp:ftp. If a non-anonymous user
created the directory, the directory is owned by user:group.
You can also use curl commands to access an FTP share. (The default SSL port is 990.)
You can access the shares as follows:
• As an anonymous share. See “FTP and FTPS commands for anonymous shares” (page 125).
• As a non-anonymous share. See “FTP and FTPS commands for non-anonymous shares”
(page 126).
• From any Fusion Manager that has FTP clients. See “FTP and FTPS commands for Fusion
Manager” (page 127).
