Configuring Windows Share Permissions for Failover Clusters

If you are using a Windows Share as the file system and logging directory for a WS_FTP Server cluster, you must configure certain sharing and security permissions. These objects require read, write, and modify permissions:

  • Windows user account used in the WS_FTP host’s Impersonation Settings (see Changing user context via user impersonation in the WS_FTP Server Manager Help for more information)
  • Computer account for Node 1 of the cluster
  • Computer account for Node of the cluster
  • Local Administrator group (present with read and write permissions by default)
Note: The Windows share and the Nodes in the cluster must be in the same domain. You must also be able to authenticate as a domain administrator to set permissions for the Share folder.
