FTP
The module 'ftp' in the 1A-manager allows easy access to large files for external parties over the Internet, without having to give them a regular account on the 1A-server. This is done by way of "projects".
You can create multiple projects and under each project ftp users can be created. These are not 1A-accounts and they are only allowed access via FTP to the relevant ftp project. Each ftp user has a personal folder in the ftp project and only has access there, not to the entire ftp project.
When an ftp user requires access to the rest of the project, the ftp user needs to have the property "user is project admin". Ftp users by default are allowed to read and write. When someone only requires read access, the property "user has readonly access" should be set.
The FTP share can also be accessed as a regular share. You can assign permissions to the share in the usual way. This way local users can access files in the FTP project folders.
