Okay, that helps for troubleshooting. I will see if I can recreate the
problem here. I think we have a Post.Office server somewhere. :)
:As for the ServU. I did put in a path like for mapping that drive. In
ServU
:there is a default user allready created. Do I need to modify this account
and
:is that the account Emerald uses for each account it creates?
Actually, Emerald doesn't create accounts in ServU. It creates the
directory according to the username or alternately the name listed in the
FTP blank in the Service creation field, and then ServU uses the DLL to
authenticate users out of the Emerald database, rather than setting up a
separate account in ServU itself. The permissions you define in Emerald (in
the Client configuration, FTP tab) are whether users as a group are allowed
to create directories, and what your size limit is for the directories. If
you need to deviate from those defaults, you will want to set up the user
directly in ServU.
If you are using Balance Forward billing cycles, you will need to use the
beta version of emerauth.dll (designed specifically to include ServU and
iMail support) to handle FTP authentication without an expiration date set
for the account. You will also need to modify your stored procedures for
FTP authentication. Contact support@iea-software.com for more information
on that. I bring it up only because Dale had mentioned earlier that he
would let people beta the DLL - but keep in mind it is a beta. :)
