![]() First is the addition of a checkbox in the “Default Public Share Settings” area for “Allow AD users to delete files on expiration.” Due to how AD users are implemented, Cerberus FTP is unable to fully impersonate the file system restrictions an AD user may have. ![]() Listener Administrator UI Update Listener UI Updateįrom the User Manager / Public Shares page, we have two UI modifications. This is newly added to the filter as part of this feature. In addition, the account “aaa” is included, which contains “paul” in its email address. The figure above shows an example of searching for “paul.” All instances of account names containing “paul” are shown, and filtered from the total users. User Manager / Public Shares tab with filter for a\aaa.jpg This is in line with making the Cerberus FTP managed file system more secure. First, the auto delete feature of public shares has changed from a system account / service attempt where it had full permission to delete files to a user permission deletion attempt: the Web Client user that created the public share must have the necessary virtual directory permissions for deletion. This feature has a two part change for Cerberus FTP administrators. Successful Revoke & Deletion Successful Revoke, Permission Error Failed Deletion of “aaa.jpg” User Manager Administrator UI Update Cerberus FTP will remove the public share in either case, but provide an error notifying the user that they did not have permission to delete the files themselves. After which, a deletion attempt will be made in the context of the Web Client user account, such that if the permission of the virtual directory does not allow deletions, the files will not be deleted. Deletion On Revoke ConfirmationĬerberus FTP will attempt to confirm that this revoke was intentional and not a miss-click. Selecting ”Revoke Link” will behave as before, but the new “Revoke Link & Delete Files” option will attempt to delete the contents of the share. In addition to the original “Revoke Link” option, there is a new option to “Revoke Link & Delete Files” that removes a public share when it’s no longer needed and removes the corresponding files at the same time. Example Shared File with highlighted Delete on Expire icon Close up of Edit Link button, and Expanded Dropdown Options Edit Public Share Dialog This new setting can be modified by clicking on either the blue edit button, or choosing the “Edit Link” dropdown option, then toggling the “Delete File On Expire” checkbox. On the Share page, a Web Client user may view their shares, with the highlighted trash can icon signifying that the files will be deleted on expiration. Managing public shares is similar in function to before. Share Wizard Options Share Wizard ReviewĪs seen above, the wizard will warn and alert the user that their files being shared will be removed when the share expires. This dialog titled “Share the Selected Item?” has a new checkbox option on the second tab, Options / Clean Up / “ Delete Shared Files on Expiration”. Once the user starts the share process by selecting the file or folder to be shared the share wizard will appear. This new feature changes the Web Client user’s public share workflow. Administrators may want to disable this feature via a new checkbox for these users. Cerberus FTP runs as a specific service user account, so AD users may have file system level access issues. As this feature leverages existing virtual directory permissions, administrators can be confident that this feature won’t allow a user to delete a file they shouldn’t be able to delete. A user could copy files for a client to download, and once the share expires, have the duplicate files deleted without needing to worry about remembering to remove the copy. Users have requested a way to remove files when they have been shared as a way to not need to manually delete shared files. There is an additional feature for both the Web Administration and the Web Client to be able to delete the contents of a public share when the share is revoked. Starting with version 12.11now has the ability for a user to delete the contents of a public share when the share itself has expired.
