Modifying a configuration profile

To modify a configuration profile, select the profile on the FTP Config Profiles panel, and click
Modify Profile. You can then make the necessary changes on the Modify FTP Profile dialog box.
To modify a configuration profile from the command line, use the following command:

ibrix_ftpconfig –m PROFILENAME [-h HOSTLIST] [-S SETTINGLIST]

Viewing configuration profiles

The Modify FTP Profile dialog box shows details for a specific configuration profile. You can also
use the following command to view detailed information about configuration profiles:

ibrix_ftpconfig –i -h HOSTLIST [–v level]

Deleting a configuration profile

To remove a configuration profile, select the profile on the FTP Config Profiles panel, click Delete
Profile, and confirm the operation. From the command line, use the following command to delete
a profile:

ibrix_ftpconfig –d PROFILENAME

Managing FTP shares

You can create an FTP share when you create a file system through the GUI. (See

“Creating a file

system” (page 12)

for more information.) You can also add a share to an existing file system, as

described here. You can create multiple shares having the same physical path, but with different
sets of properties, and then assign users to the appropriate share. Be sure to use a different IP
address or port for each share.

NOTE:

The file system must be mounted when you create the share.

Each FTP share is associated with a configuration profile. The FTP properties associated with the
share are added to the file serving nodes hosting the configuration profile.

Adding an FTP share

To add an FTP share from GUI, select the profile to be associated with the share, and then click
Add Share on the Shares panel.

On the General tab, specify the file system, which must be mounted, and the default directory path
for the share. If the directory path includes a subdirectory, be sure to create the subdirectory on
the file system and assign read/write/execute permissions to it. (X9000 Software does not create
the subdirectory if it does not exist, and instead adds a /pub/ directory to the share path.)

IMPORTANT:

Ensure that all users who are given read or write access to HTTP shares have

sufficient access permissions at the file system level for the directories exposed as shares.

Also select the appropriate FTP parameters for the share and enter the IP addresses and ports that
clients will use to access the share. For High Availability, specify the IP address of a VIF having a
VIF backup.

NOTE:

The allowed ports are 21 (FTP) and 990 (FTPS).
