Nas520 - Share ftp folders on external drive for individual users

Hi, i have external USB hard drive and want assign rights to individual folders to individual users?
Example:
HDD > Folder1
>Folder2
I want give for Username1 right only for Folder1 and for User2 right only for Folder2
But now I can`t add separate folders but only the entire external disk (HDD) so that individual users can see all the folders (Folder1 and Folder2) on the hard disk and I do not want that ...

it should be not possible, even for internal folder, because external folder just like admin/music/video/photo, and through web page, it is only allowed to set privilege on admin/music/video/photo.So if you want to do that, you should use second USB drive.0

Very bad. This is elementary for every ftp server (user privileges). I do not have the resources to put a separate external hdd for each user. I'm just going to be very expensive and it makes no sense. admin/music/video/photo as far as I know they are only for internal hdd and I do not want my web cameras to write non-stop on them.

I think there is a work-around. Create the directories on the USB disk, then create symlinks on /i-data/sysdisk/ pointing to that directories. After that you can configure that symlinks as internal shares.

Well, I don't know where your USB disk is mounted, but it's something like /e-data/<long-hex-code>/To create the symlinks, you'll have to login (as root with the admin password) via telnet or ssh, which server has to be enabled in the System menu.Then execute
<div>ln -s /e-data/<long-hex-code>/folder1 /i-data/sysvol/folder1<br></div><div></div>
Now a 'folder1' should appear in the main volume, which you can share and set access rights. The second 'folder1' doesn't have to have the same name as the folder it's pointing to.0 -

No. The admin panel parses /i-data/sysvol/ to see which directories are available.Does
ls -l /i-data/sysvol/
show your symlink pointing to the right location, and doesls /i-data/sysvol/folder1
show the same content asls /e-data/<long-hex-code>/folder1

I already did that, but it does not work for me. I solved my problem by installing a ProFTPD server on my dedicated Linux server and I gave my rights as much as I wanted. I can not decipher on the Zyxel server. Hopefully someday Zyxel to upgrade the firmware and fix this problem.Thanks for the help...
