Custom home folder for BC FTP accounts?

Does anyone know if you can customize the home folder for FTP account/login to BC like you can with other hosting providers? I know you can manage access with account roles, but I don't think it goes as specific as what folder on the server can be accessed by a specific account. Right now all FTP accounts login straight to the root folder.

Hi Steve,
Unfortunately you cannot control or customize this further via BC FTP.  The system will always open in the root.  All you can do via FTP is create/delete new folders as well as upload/remove files. 
Kind regards,
-Sidney

  • The home folder for user isn't located in the usual place......

    ....or can't be accessed.
    Ok so I have trawled the internet and found this to be a known problem, however mine has an extra twist.
    Ok, my Mac has a local admin account, lets call it Admin, but the account I use is a network account called PBN.
    This network account does not create a home folder path to the server, as such it stores a user folder in Macintosh HD/Users/.
    Since buying this mac this has been working fine, no issues, but today when I log onto the machine it gets the error "The home folder for <user> isn't located in the usual place or can't be accessed", whats more is that its created a new folder labelled "~".
    Things I have tried:
    1) repair permissions and repair disk while booted into SL DVD
    2) Right clicking while in System Pref - Users to get to advanced options to check the home drive path (Can't do this because its a network account although the profile is stored locally)
    3) xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo / on problematic machine
    Couldn't do this on the PBN account as it has no permissions (although it is a domain admin)
    attr file no found error the admin account
    4) xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo /volumes/users/ while booted into another machine with broken machine in target disk mode.
    So, I am at a major loss and would really preciate any help

    The error messages regarding network homes really don't offer any specific clues as to what's wrong. The error message you're getting means one of several things - you've done something wrong setting up your server, you've done something wrong setting up your clients, your server has hardware/software issues, or your network infrastructure is bad. I'm honestly not trying to give you a bad time here, just going over possibilities.
    DNS, which you mentioned, is a good place to start. You mentioned that forward/reverse lookups work, and that's a good sign. But just to be sure, have you run sudo changeip -checkhostname
    If that reports back that the names match and there is nothing to change, then it's pretty certain that DNS is not the issue. Just to be sure, your clients are using your OS X Server, or whatever server is hosting DNS records for your setup?
    The next step is to double-check permissions on the shares where user homes are located. The clients should also have accurate date&time settings.
    The logs on the clients and server can also offer clues, however cryptic they may be, be sure to look at them if you haven't.
    Also, has this setup worked before, if not, can you describe how you set everything up? I've been stymied by OS X Server myself, so I get where you're at, but the more details you provide, the better chance that Tony, Mr. Hoffman, or other folks here can offer a few more clues/suggestions.

  • Smaller home folder for encryption  - cant move movies

    i wanted to set up file vault and encrypt my home folder - but i have a lot of movies and music and pictures- so it would be wasteful to encrypt all that.
    i dragged the movies from my home folder to the first window that opens when you open the drive, but that didn't seem to move them out of my home folder which still lists 60gigs.
    where should i move these items to, to keep them out of my home folder for fast encryption?
    also, on a mac it seems hard to move a folder to another location on the same drive. if i drag it there the computer spends time copying it there and then i have to delete it. i've found a way to make this happen in automater but its not so easy and doesn't work great. is there a shortcut for simply draging files to where you want them to be without them copying? (i'm talking about within one drive)
    thanks for your help,
    m

    If you are on the same volume dragging and dropping any file or folder "moves" the file or folder. If you use COMMAND-C to "copy" a file or folder and COMMAND-V to "paste" it in another location then this "copies" the file or folder. If you open a Finder window on your "source" and another one on the "destination" then you can simply drag the file or folder from the "source" window to the "destination" window. This will "move" not "copy" the "source" to the "destination."
    If you don't want to encrypt your Movies, Music, Pictures folders then copy them to an external hard drive and delete their contents from the internal drive.
    Alternatively, you can create a separate user account in which you will only keep your sensitive information and encrypt that account leaving the other account unencrypted but containing no sensitive data.
    Alternatively, put all your sensitive data into a separate folder and encrypt the folder. For added security get an external hard drive and store the encrypted folder on the external drive. You can then disconnect the external drive and lock it away for added security.

  • "home folder for user "....." is not located in the usual... (help)

    I accidentally ran Disk Utility (repair permissions and disk) from the panther disk that came with my computer instead of from my Tiger disk. Now things are really screwed up. I can't open any user accounts and no files seem available. Most Apps seem to be there. But i can't open or even locate any formerly existing documents.
    The message i'm getting is: *Home Folder for user "me" is not located in the usual place and can not be accessed*
    Does anyone have any idea what can be done?

  • Shared home folder for OSX and Windows

    Hello,
    I am wondering if it is possible to have a shared home folder for Windows and OSX.
    We have an AD and ODS. Is this possible, if it is, using CIFS?
    Hope hearing from anyone
    Best Regards.

    hallo victor,
    thanks for your answer. unfortunately this does not solve my problem. my sap landscape is more complex.
    there are several sap installations in diverent windows domains and some are on as/400 (and there is another windows domain) all are in different networks and are protected by firewall. furthermore there is a rule (maybe some exceptions are allowed) that there must not be qntc connections over these firewalls.
    with a shared folder between a windows workstation in one network and an as/400 in another network it works fine. but as a mentioned first - there is the problem with the sapservice<sid> userid which is to long for as/400 environment. I think there must be a tricky solution (hope so).
    kind regards

  • Home folder for AD users?

    I'm upgrading the servers from 10.6.8 to 10.7.. am running some testing before i do the final upgrade, i have noticed something.. I couldn't assign home folder for Active directory users.. I'm running Mac OSX 10.7.2
    The Open Directory server is bound to Active directory server and when i open the Server app, and under users.. I clicked on + sign to add users and select the type as "imported user from another directory".. I can see all the active directory users and i can import them but then it doesn't allow me to create home folder for them.. while it works fine for the open directory users..
    This what perfectly working under 10.6.8 but not under 10.7.2, unless there is a work around that I dont know about..
    Any idea ?

    Hi,
    Could still do with trying to work out if this is possible. If anyone has any ideas / suggestions it would be much appreciated.

  • Customizing root folder for our custom and standard reports

    Hi Experts,
    We are planning to have customizing root folder for our custom and standard reports,
    I have couple of questions to do this customization.
    1)     How do we setup root folder as default instead XA or SSA for all the users?
    2)     What are the implications on Spend adviser reports, we will not customize spend adviser, planning to use standard SPD?
    3)     Do we have any developments required or setup at visual Admin level?
    Someone can guide me what would be the pros and cons along with above concerns? Your reply will be highly appreciated.

  • What is proper path syntax for home folder for users

    I'm taking over for someone who has left the organization.
    They have used two methods for setting up a home folder for each AD user. I think they did this because over time they learned some things and just changed the way they did things. I'm not sure, but I'm trying to understand which is best to use going forward.
    We use 2003 - and 2008R2 environment for AD.
    We have a folder on our server called D:\userfiles
    In this folder we have each department with a folder eg.
    D:\userfiles\hr
    D:\userfiles\accting
    D:\userfiles\department1
    etc.
    When we set up a User in AD we click on the Profile tab and then select H: as the "Home Folder" and then in the To box enter one of two paths.
    My question is which path is best. They both seem to work.
    The one with the $ at the end I think creates a share in the shared folder when you look at shared folders in the computer management on the server for that user.
    Anyway I'm not really sure which to use or what the difference is.   I would like to use one or other.
    We also have a script that is run when people log on but I'm unclear if that is just   a red herring in this discussion.
    Thanks.

    Hi stevwolf,
    Based on my understanding, you would like to know what the mean of the dollar sign($) at the end of the share name. Right?
    The share name which has the dollar sign($) at the end means it is a hiden share. Hidden shares are not listed when you look through the shares on a computer or use the
    net view command. In your case, the folder joebleow$ will not be liated in the path
    \\server1.

  • Change Home folder for AD accounts to a separate NAS

    Hi,
    We're running a large Windows network at a school with all pupils having individual Windows domain logins. Most of the subjects use Windows based PC's (Win 7). However, a small number of departments (Art, Music etc) have a number of Macs.
    We have the Macs running fine on the network with pupils able to log in on the Macs via their AD accounts (all Mac workstations joined to both OD and AD - running 10.9.4). They have access to their "Windows" home folder on the dock and also a separate Home folder created locally on the mac they log into. Until now that has been fine. However, we want to move to having all the Mac home folders on one NAS, giving greater flexibility for pupils to move from Mac to Mac and keep the same files, and also retain separate access to their AD folders too (although this last bit isn't essential)
    I gather I can edit their AD accounts to change the Windows home folder to point to the NAS used for the Mac Home folders, which will fix the problem when they log onto the Macs. But of course this is of no use as they will still need to be connecting to their Windows home folder whenever they log onto a PC.
    On the Mac server (running 3.1.2) the ability to change the Home folder is grayed out for AD accounts. Similarly when I try and change the Home path in Workgroup Manager (10.9) the process errors - "Error of type eDSNoStdMappingAvailable (-14140) on line 1351 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-421/Plugins/UserAccounts/UserVol umesPluginView.mm"
    Finally, I have also gone into the Directory Utility and tried changing the NFSHomeDirectory to the correct path manually, but again when I try and save I get an error "An invalid attribute type was not provided".
    Just to get to the nub of the problem - can I set up a separate networked home folder location for AD users logging onto my Macs, independent of the Windows home directory. Ideally as I have well over 1000 student accounts this is something I'd like to be able to sort en mass rather than individually, but will take any suggestions at this point!

  • How to delete the home folder of a deleted account?

    After I set up a new account, I transferred everything from my old macbook pro to my new iMac (so it has a moutain lion system. I'm sure you know it. Just want to make it clear ) through migration assistance from time machine. Then I realized that an extra account (my old one) plus many unnecessary data had been transferred to my new iMac. Therefore, I decided to delete this old account.
    HOWEVER, when I deleted the account, I failed to delete the home folder--I chose to delete it securely; but after it started backing up, I simply cancel the backup (which is a HUGE mistake) Then I found the account was deleted but its home folder stayed-- it occupied over 150GB of my new iMac.
    Could anyone tell me how I can delete the home folder securely?
    in addition, since I only want to transfer iphoto pictures, iTune music and some important documents to my new account, should I simply copy thme to an external drive and transfer them to my new account?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    In system preferences, create a new account again, using the short name of the "deleted" account. You may be prompted to re-use the old home folder. Log out and log in to test it worked. Then log in as your new admin, and do the delete process again. Don't choose to securely delete this time - just a regular delete.
    When you have time to spare, go to Disk Utility, and use the Erase tab to securely erase free space on the drive. This will accomplish the same thing that your originally tried to do. Use the fastest method - anything more secure is a waste of time. You may need to run it overnight - it can take several hours.

  • Is there a way to merge/migrate my local home folder to a network account

    My family has a number of Macbooks and a couple of iMacs and we've been thinking we'd like centralized storage for our media collection and other files and I'd like an easier way to deal with these machines to keep them updated, etc.  Also we swap laptops and desktops depending on who needs to do what at a particular moment.  Is there a way to migrate an existing home folder on a macbook to an account on the server.  What I would like to be able to do is to be able to log into any computer in my home and have it look like "my" computer, with files, settings etc...  Since I am new to the server world I am confused by the terminology re: network accounts and mobile accounts.  Is there a good guide someone could recommend to get me started.  Thanks.

    Hi Yodalogger,
    I hope you have yourself sorted.  I've been through alot of pain with lion server, it's very buggy at best.
    Your best bet is SolidWood's suggestion of network accounts if you are constantly on the same network.  I use this at home and it works very well.  For simplicity, you can use WorkGroup Manager for this as it's more intuitive!
    If, you need a mobile account, this is what I did.
    I migrated local macbook accounts to server machine (migration assistant).
    I renamed the /User home folders on macbook to _backup.  For safety.
    I deleted local accounts from macbook.  Keep your _backup home folders!  Also, you will need to have a local Admin account in place.  Make sure you do not delete it.
    On Server.  You will have local accounts created for all your migrated macbook accounts.  Just remove the accounts in system preferences but ensure you leave the /User home folders in place when prompted.
    On server. I created the new users (old mackbook accounts) and groups in the server app.  This doesn't create or overwrite your existing home folders.  So go ahead and name them exactly the same as before and make sure the accounts match your home folder's names.
    On server, using profile manager, I set up mobility etc., for the device.  That is, you need to enroll your macbook with the server and configure services for it in profile manager.  You can add a placeholder for this in profile manager to configure stuff.
    A handy tip to alleviate all the automatic push settings pain and heartache is to set the general payload to manual.  You can then wip up the profile manager from your macbook to install the profiles manually.  (easily done).
    On Macbook, login with local admin account.
    On Macbook, go to system prefs and accounts, set up your open directory stuff in the login options.
    On Macbook, log out of admin.  Back at the login screen, you should see your admin account and 'Other.'  Give it a few minutes or so to figure this out.  It needs to contact the server etc. for info.
    Once you have 'Other' click on it and login with one of your new network accounts.  This will log you in as a network account - you should see all your usual settings that previously existed on your macbook when it was a local account.
    At this point, you whip up profile manager.  http://yourserver.local/profilemanager  Change yourserver to the name of your server.
    Login to profile manager with your admin account.  I do this as I will be downloading a few profiles that only admin has access to.
    So, you need to download a trust profile, your device profile, and a profile for remote management if you have set this up.  You may have seen various download buttons knocking around the the interface.  In downloads double click these to install (if it doesn't do this automatically).
    Log out of everything.
    Log back in with one of your network accounts.  This time you should be prompted to create a mobile account.  Say yes and let it sync your home folders from server to macbook.
    Once each mobile account is created, you can then further define user/group settings in profile manager.  You download these by logging into http://yourserver.local/mydevices as the user and download the appropriate settings.
    I think thats it.  Sorry, if its not detailed enough - I'm presuming you know yourself around a mac!  I have to say the process is straightforward but Lion Server is not.  I do not get consistent results with it and I'm still trying to tame it... 
    By far the easiest option is network accounts.  Mobile accounts need more attention.
    I hope this helps (and anybody else!)
    Paul.

  • Can't create an alias for User home folder for a second user

    Please help:
    I can't make an alias of a User home folder of a second user. I can successfully make an alias of a home folder of the first user. The computer says the folder is in use and to wait for some activity to complete, or that I don't have enough privileges. There are no activities happening and both accounts are administrator level. Is this a behavior of OS 10.5.6? I created alias for the two users before, but had unrelated problems and wiped the drive, re-installed 10.5.6 and now I can't do it.
    Much thanks and aloha - Rocky

    hi Petar,
    Wish it was that simple where i can just change the ID to ACT but unfortunately alot of our users like to hardcode there currentview and changing the scenario dimensions would take a big effort and alot of support work.  We had changed one of the dimension members before and we got phone calls asking why the report doesn't work for weeks.  Do you know if the NW version of BPC has that capability?
    Thanks,

  • What is home folder for disk diagnostic

    I started to run disk diagnostics for the first time to help me determine why every program I open is running so slowly, especially safari, and it asked me to choose my 'home folder" .  I don't know what it is asking for - what is my home folder?  Applications? I realize this is a very simplistic question and I should probably know the answer but I'm feeling lost and confused, so would appreciate any help.

    Open the top level of the drive, and then Users, and select the folder with the house icon.

  • Different icons on home screen for each email account?

    Good Morning,
    I have searched and searched to no avail for an answer to this (simple) question:
    Is there any way to have separate mail icons on your home screen for each of your mail accounts?
    I have my work/exchange email (knee-jerk response required) and my spam-laden personal account set up on my phone. Everytime my phone "dings" I have to go digging for which account it is. It would be very nice to see right on the home screen which account had mail rather than having them grouped into one cumulative icon.
    Note to developers: I'd be willing to pay for this.
    Thanks,
    Dominic
