Table: FTP local user options
Option | Definition |
|---|---|
bandwidth | Specifies the maximum bandwidth (in MB/second) for a local user account on the FTP server. By default, there is no limit on the bandwidth for local users. |
max_connections | Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous connections a local user can have to each node in the cluster. By default there is no limit to the number of connections a local user can have to the FTP server. |
homedir | Specifies the home directory for a local user account. The home directory you configure for a local user account is created relative to the home directory path that is configured by the FTP > set homedir_path command. The default home directory value for local user accounts is username where username is the login name for the local user account. For example, if the home directory path is set to /vx/fs1/ftp_home and the user name is user1, the default home directory for user1 is /vx/fs1/ftp_home/user1 Changes to this value are applicable for any new connections. Configuring a new home directory location does not migrate any existing data in a local user's current home directory to the new home directory. |
