FTP Access FTP Access FTP settings are configured on the Network > FTP screen of the Administration Tool. By default, FTP clients can access the server using the anonymous user account, which is mapped to the Snap Server's guest user account and AllUsers group account. You can set share access and file access for anonymous FTP users by modifying permissions for these accounts. For more granular control over FTP access, you must create local user accounts for FTP users. Supported FTP Clients Snap Servers have been tested with the most common FTP clients and work as expected based on the commands required by RFC 959.

HTTP/HTTPS Access (Web View) Web View is the screen that opens when users access a Snap Server using their Web browsers. This screen displays a list of all shares to which the user has access. Users can navigate the share structure to locate and view or download files, but they cannot modify or upload files.

HTTP and HTTPS are the default protocols used for browser-based access to the server. HTTPS enhances security by encrypting communications between client and server, and cannot be disabled. You can, however, disable HTTP access on the Network > Web screen of the Administration Tool. Additionally, you can require browser-based clients to authenticate to the server.

FTP Access
Chapter 2
Network Access to the Server
33
FTP Access
FTP settings are configured on the
Network > FTP
screen of the Administration Tool.
By default, FTP clients can access the server using the anonymous user account,
which is mapped to the Snap Server's
guest
user account and
AllUsers
group
account. You can set share access and file access for anonymous FTP users by
modifying permissions for these accounts. For more granular control over FTP
access, you must create local user accounts for FTP users.
Supported FTP Clients
Snap Servers have been tested with the most common FTP clients and work as
expected based on the commands required by RFC 959. Snap Servers have been
proven to work with these products: Internet Explorer 5.5 and later, Safari 2.0 and
later, and FireFox 1.5 and later.
HTTP/HTTPS Access (Web View)
Web View
is the screen that opens when users access a Snap Server using their Web
browsers. This screen displays a list of all shares to which the user has access. Users
can navigate the share structure to locate and view or download files, but they
cannot modify or upload files. Web View requires the use of Microsoft Internet
Explorer (5.5 or later), Safari (2.0 or later), or FireFox (1.5 or later).
HTTP and HTTPS are the default protocols used for browser-based access to the
server. HTTPS enhances security by encrypting communications between client and
server, and cannot be disabled. You can, however, disable HTTP access on the
Network > Web
screen of the Administration Tool. Additionally, you can require
browser-based clients to authenticate to the server.
Note
To access the CA
e
Trust Antivirus configuration interface (on the
Snap
Extensions
screen), HTTP must be enabled.
To Switch to a Different User
Users can switch to a different username from the opening Web View screen by
clicking on the
Switch Users
link and entering the new username and password.
To Change a User Password
Users can change their passwords from the opening Web View screen by clicking
the
Change Password
link, and then completing the username, old password, and
new password information.
