Setting Up A User On Seal |
To setup a new Internet user on Seal we have to do a couple things.
- Create a new directory for this user in wwwroot.
- Go in IIS and make the users directory have application properties.
- Go in Serv-U FTP server and create a login for the user to access their
own space.
- Create a mail account ( Not configured yet )
. |
Step 1 - Creating a Directory |
- Open up Windows Explorer and browse to the d:\inetpub\wwwroot folder.
- Create a new folder and rename it to their UserName
. |
Step
2 - Setting up IIS |
- Open up IIS by clicking on the icon in the task bar
- Expand the SSW web share
- Locate the User's folder that you created in step 1, right click on it
and go to properties
- Click on the Create button and then click ok

Step
3- Setting up Serv-U FTP |
- Open up Serv-U FTP server by clicking on the image in the taskbar. Pease
note that the image suggests that the FTP server is OFFLINE! This is a known
bug with terminal server and should be ignored.
- Expand the domain that this user is a part. (This will always be ftp.ssw.com.au
UNLESS the user has their own domain on our server.)
- Right click in this area and select a new user.
- Follow the wizard to add a new user, Just make sure that:
o In step 3 - you select the folder you made and not any other by mistake.
o In Step 4 - Lock user in home directory. Always Select YES for obvious reasons.
Also if this is off, the user tried to access there space though full parths
I.E. d:/inetpub/wwwroot/<UserName> rather than just /<UserName>
- Once the user is created, go into the Account Tab and in the notes section,
type in the user's password and a contact email address. This way we can test
the account if the user has a problem and also can email a lost password to
the account holders true email address.
- In the General Tab, Make sure that there is only 2 logins from same IP,
that the idle time-out is set at 5 minuets, and that the MAX number of users
is set to 3.
- In the Dir Access Tab, for any paths that are listed, make sure that all
the permissions are selected EXCEPT the Execute one.
- In the Quota Tab, tick the enable quota checkbox and enter in the Maximum
size of hard drive space you wish to allocate to the user. ( I.E. 30meg will
be 30000)
- Now that you have setup the FTP, test it by login into the users account,
upload a file, and delete it. Making sure that the users space decreases one
the file is uploaded.
