Define a 'start' folder for a user

HI,

I'm evaluating FileVista and I have encountered this issue:

The purpose is that my clients can upload / download files from my server, this works great. However every client that logs in sees the complete folder list (all my other clients names). While they can't browse them it still is a major 'leak of information'.

This can be fixed in two ways:

- Hide a folder in the folder view if one has no rights to at least traverse it
- Define a custom 'root' folder for each user that they can't escape from (a jail)

If any one of those are possible I'm buying.

HI,

I'm also evaluating FileVista and did the following:

I created two users, two root folders and on each root folder, I gave permission to only one of the users. doing so, I get  the behaviour you're looking for.

FWIW

You should consider using dynamic root folder feature. Please see the following topic:
