The guest user is now set up. By default, he has read access and execute: rx

Press Save. The next time the guest user logs in, he will now have the new access rights.

 


 

Disable, modify or delete

 

Navigate to Settings > Guests

  • Via checkbox active you activate or deactivate an existing guest user.
  • In the menu item Edit the user name, the password or the start directory can be changed.
  • Delete permanently deletes the guest user.

 

Delete data from guest users

 

When files or folders are uploaded by a guest user, that user is automatically the owner. By default, you therefore have read-only access to this data. To get full access to all data, please proceed as follows:

  • Log in to the web interface
  • Select under Settings > Main User: "Reset access rights"
  • As "owner" you can now delete the data or reset the rights

 

Change access right to a single folder:

  • Log in to the web interface
  • Select the desired folder
  • Open the pop-up with a "right click"
  • Select "Reset access rights
  • As "owner" you can now delete the data or reset the rights

 

You may also have hidden files in the folders and therefore cannot delete them.

  • Connect to your online storage with the FTP client
  • Select View > Show hidden files
  • Now try to delete the corresponding data in the FTP client

 

If you still cannot delete the data, please contact our support.
