How Do I Configure File Management Permissions?

Constraints

Currently, file management is available only for SSH, RDP, and VNC host resources and application resources.

2. Choose Resource > Host > Host Mgmt. On the displayed page, click the name of ECS1 or Manage. The ECS1 details page is displayed.
3. Click Edit in the Basic Info area. The Edit Basic Info dialog box is displayed.
4. Select File Manage in the Options row and click OK.

Permission Authentication

As an example, the following describes how to log in to ECS1 as User1 using a web browser and configure file management permission.

1. Log in to a CBH system as User1.
2. Choose Operation > Host Operation. In the row of ECS1, click Login.
3. On the displayed page, click File Transfer to view files on the host web disk or cloud host.
   

   • Cloud hosts are resources managed by the CBH systems. You can manage files or folders in the managed host.
   • Netdisk is a personal net disk for CBH system users. Users can use the personal net disk to manage file transfer between managed hosts.
