•
Everyone Readable: All authenticated users can view the file.
•
Everyone Writable: All authenticated users have write permission to
the file.
•
Set the Allow users to delete or rename other users' files and folders
field as required.
This field determines if users who have write permission to a share can delete
or rename files or folders within that share that they do not own.
Consider the applications used by your users to determine how you want to set
this field such as interoperability with applications such as MS Word 2007 and
Photoshop. For example, if this field is not selected and you gave a user write
permissions to a file and that user tried to open, edit, and save the file, the save
would fail due to the fact that Word sets up a temporary file and then attempts
to delete it and replace it with the new version. Not all applications work this
way.
•
Select this field: By selecting this field, users with write permissions can
rename or delete files or folders within the assigned share even though they
are not the owners of the files or folders.
•
Deselect this field: Users cannot rename or delete a file or folder within the
assigned share unless they are the owners of the file or folder
Unlike the setting on the Shares Setup page, this setting is global, not per share. All
files within folders created through FTP act according to this setting, regardless of
the share they are created in.
If the NSS is located behind a firewall and/or router, continue to the next section,

Configuring Passive Mode FTP
Passive Mode FTP is an alternative way of establishing FTP connections that is
used for FTP clients or servers that are located behind a router/and or firewall (in
this case, the NSS acts as an FTP server). Passive Mode allows for a more secure
form of data transfer and ensures that the intended network client establishes all
connections and maintains session control for FTP server requests within local
and external network environments.
