How to use SMB Share using SFTP/S3

Question

Hi.. Currently I use Isilon for file sharing using SMB Share protocol, but I have some users outside of the building with low bandwidth connections and complain about accessing Isilon SMB share is way too slow. I was wondering if it was possible for them to access existing SMB Share using SFTP/S3 (using S3 browser maybe) but follow the permission on SMB share. Please advise..

I was tried to access Isilon use SFTP(22) protocol, WinSCP, user domain and system access zone:

But it return all folder while user supposed to access just folder under /ifs/BCA (access zone data). My expectation when connect to Isilon using FTP, I can see all folder that have my permission (dtidomain\melina) on SMB share:

Thanks..

Hi DELL-Sam L,

Thanks, actually I already access Isilon using SFTP but my expectation is to see just SMB Folder that have my permission. Is it possible?

Cause when I connect to the SFTP it refer to /root (first picture). FYI SMB Share is refer to directory under /ifs/BCA

Regards,

Hello Nealus99, I am not aware of a way to make that happen.

If you are expecting to see an SMB ABE (Access Based Enumeration) kind of behaviour that only lists folders you have at least traversal or read rights, this isn't going to happen as ABE is an SMB protocol specific feature. FTP is quite trivial in its features - not specific to Isilon but as a protocol - if I may say so

Hi CendresMetaux,noted about ABE only on SMB protocol, I curious how to limit permission using FTP? because when I try to access isilon using FTP, it seems I have full control especially on /ifs. Can we user FTP for file sharing (1 directory for more than 1 user access)? Thanks

I don't know the specifics on FTP implementation on Isilon, sorry! Maybe someone else can jump in?
