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:
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
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)?
