Shared Folders

[spookyelectric]

Hi

I have a Synology DS209 and I am trying to create a shared folder so a user can login via FTP and only see that specific folder.

When I try and create the shared folder I noticed the following in the instructions on the right hand side

To create a new shared folder
Click Create.
Enter the shared folder name and description.
Select the volume where the shared folder will be created*.

I cannot see anywhere to select the shared volume will be created.

Any ideas or is there an alternative way to do this

Thanks

Andy

Hi,

You have 'one' logical volume, in case your DS209 is configured with a RAID1 mirror set of two hard disks. Just create a new shared folder and it will be created on your disk array. Create the new user for the FTP access and give it access to this share.

Thanks for the reply

So if there is already a folder on the Diskstation I cannot point to that? you have to create a new one?

Once the folder is created, select the folder and click “privileges setup”.
