Downloading and uploading files

Adding a User and Setting file access
Under Settings, you will find the option to create a user.
Field | Use |
---|---|
Username | Desired Username for user |
Password | Desired Password for user |
Scope | This is an essential option as this will be the folder the user may access. In this example, it is set to ./share, which is /home/username/share Note: It is not recommended to point this directly to a rclone mount as this will cause extreme IO and possibly cause issues with your slot |
Permissions | You can set the kind of actions a user can perform; for example, you may want to allow download but never allow upload so that a user can not deposit files onto your slot. You'd untick create Files and Directories |
