If \ftp.cfg is missing or cannot be interpreted, all username/password combinations will
be accepted and the home directory will be the FTP root (i.e. \ftp\).
•
The home directory for a user must also exist in the file system, if the user shall be able
to log in. It is not enough just to add the user information to the ftp.cfg file.
•
If Admin Mode has been enabled in the Ethernet Object, all username/password combi-
nations will be accepted and the user will have unrestricted access to the file system (i.
e. the home directory will be the system root). The vfs folder is read-only.
•
It is strongly recommended to have at least one user with root access (\) permission. If
not, Admin Mode must be enabled each time a system file needs to be altered (includ-
ing \ftp.cfg).
