Specify the User Login Directory

The user login directory determines which directory's contents a user sees after connecting to the server using SFTP or SCP2. The default login directory is the Windows user profile directory.

To change the user login directory

  1. Click the Configuration > SFTP Directories.
  2. Select a directory in the User login directory list.
  3. Click File > Save.

    The server settings are updated.

Notes:

  • To add an item to the User login directory list, add it to the SFTP accessible directories list and confirm that Allow is selected.
  • To have users log into their virtual root directory, which contains all accessible directories configured and allowed under SFTP accessible directories, select "<virtual root directory>".
  • When you change the user login directory, if the currently configured user public key directory does not correspond to the new login location, a warning message appears. The reason for this is that automatic key upload programs — including the one provided with the Reflection client — will not work correctly if public keys are not stored in a subdirectory called .ssh2 in the user's login directory. You can ignore this message if you do not use public key authentication, or if you configure user keys manually.
