When an administrator uses Windows Explorer to add or delete files, EFT Server updates a user's Used disk space. Additions and deletions to a user's folder that are performed outside of EFT Server are not prohibited, even when the number of files added exceeds the Max disk space allowed. However, EFT Server will update the user's disk quota and the user is prohibited from uploading until the Used disk space is less than the Max disk space.
If you do not want transfers to a user's folder that are performed outside of EFT Server to add to the user's disk quota, create a new key in the registry as described below. When the DWORD value is set to 1, files added to users' folders external to EFT Server that can affect quotas will be ignored. The setting does not affect the functioning of normal upload/download quotas.
To activate this feature, create the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 3.0]
"ForceNoQuota"=dword:00000001
0 = normal
1 = files added to users' folders external to EFT Server that affect quotas will be ignored. This will not affect the functioning of normal Server upload/download quotas.
