Allow Users to Create Workspaces

(Requires the HTTP/S module and Workspaces module) Users must log in to Workspaces via the Web Transfer Client (WTC). The EFT administrator must configure EFT to allow connections from the WTC. See also Enabling User Access to the Web Transfer Client and Enable and Configure EFT Workspaces.

  • Active Directory domain users must have logon permission on EFT computer to log on to EFT through the WTC. This is accomplished by adding AD domain users to the "Allow log on locally" list on the EFT computer. If an AD domain user is not in this list, logging on to EFT through the WTC will fail and an error message appears informing the user that Local login access is required to log on to EFT.

  • Ensure that the child folders and files in EFT's \InetPub\ (C:\InetPub\) directory have the correct permissions, as described in Set Windows NT Permissions for EFT.

  • Stopping and restarting the Site disconnects everybody who is connected; users must log back in.

  • The user account that is creating the Workspace must have permissions on their home folder to create folders.
