Admin Console - Remote Access Permissions for Users

In the past, FilesAnywhere had FTPS and SFTP combined, but now you can now choose FTPS, SFTP, or both remote access options for your users.

Table of Contents

• User Creation or Editing
• In the User Grid - Remote Access Permissions
• In the User Grid - Filters

Note: Once enabled, please use the following information for each connection type.
FTPS - ftps.filesanywhere.com use port 21
SFTP - sftp.filesanywhere.com use port 22

(Also, any changes to the SFTP directory will take a minimum of 30 minutes to update per GlobalScape protocols)

User Creation or Editing

While creating or editing a user, you can choose to grant them FTPS and/or SFTP access.

1. Create or Edit a user.
    
    
    
2. Click on the Advanced tab on the left.
    
   
    
3. Under Remote Access Permissions, select if you want the user to have FTPS, SFTP, or both options.
    
   
    
4. Once you have enabled FTPS and/or SFTP, specify the default folder that you wish to use.
    
   
   
   Note: FTPS and/or SFTP can only point to one directory at a time.  This is a limitation of the connection.
    
5. Once you have chosen your settings for the user, click the Save and Close button to finalize creation/editing of the user.

In the User Grid - Remote Access Permissions

To further facilitate the changes we've made to the FTPS/SFTP access, the Remote Access Permissions column will now reflect the new changes.

1. Navigate to the User Grid by selecting Users and then Users in the drop down menu.
    
   
    
2. Notice the Remote Access Permissions column on the right side of each user.
    
   
    
3. The permissions have now been changed to reflect the new changes.
    
   
    
4. The permissions are displayed as follows:
   

   	No Permission means that there are no Remote Access Permissions assigned to this user.
   	FTPS means that only FTP access is assigned to this user.
   	SFTP means that only SFTP access is assigned to this user.
   	WEBDAV means that only WebDAV access is assigned to this user.
   	FTPS,SFTP,WEBDAV means that all Remote Access Permissions are assigned to this user.

Note: Starting November 29th, 2023 the WebDAV feature will be limited to legacy accounts only and will not be available for new accounts.
