Edit Group Menu: Add Directory Association
1.
At the
Edit Group
prompt, type
1
to add a new directory association.
A
Directory Association
is a path that defines the directories and/or files that a particular user or group can access via the
HTTP (Web) Server on the NetLinx Master. This character string can range from 1 to 128 alpha-numeric characters. This string
is
case sensitive
. This is the path to the file or directory you want to grant access. Access is limited to the user (i.e. doc:user)
directory of the Master. All subdirectories of the user directory can be granted access.
A single '/' is sufficient to grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's sub-directory.
The '*' wildcard can also be added to enable access to all files.
All entries should start with a '/'.
Here are some examples of valid entries:
By default, all accounts that enable HTTP Access are given a '
/*
' Directory Association if no other Directory Association has
been assigned to the account. When you are prompted to enter the path for a Directory Association, the NetLinx Master will
attempt to validate the path.
