Example: Example User Permissions
The above settings allow the user to access FTP Server 1 - he has full control over the contents of the server. These permissions only apply to the root directory of the server and all directories below that. The user also has list, read and write access to the c:\work directory on FTP Server 2. However, the user has no permission at all to the c:\work\java directory on FTP Server 2. The user has no permission at all on FTP Server 3, meaning he cannot even log on.
The rights you specify for a directory are automatically inherited by its subdirectories, unless you specify different rights for them.
