Procedure to enable ftp access on VNX5700
The following things have been done, but i still can't ftp to a CIFS share.
1. The IP of the CIFS servers is on the same subnet as the VNX itself.
2. /nas/sbin/server_user server_2 -add ftp
3. Created ftp local user from Unisphere. There is a directory for ftp under /home
4. no users have been created in AD for the CIFS shares.
5. No "homedir" directory exists under .etc on thes hare.
6. I have stopped and restarted the ftp services.
7. I have been using the "Using FTP, TFTP, and SFTP on VNX" manual.
I'm not sure what else to try, so any assistance is much appreciated!

did you set ACLs for that AD account on the file system itself ?

is your CIFS server joined to AD or is it stand alone ?

so typically you would use AD account to ftp to a CIFS server joined to AD, when you ftp you would specify domainname\username. Another option is when you join CIFS server to AD, enable local accounts and create a local account use Computer Management MMC.

The CIFS server is joined to the domain.

I have tried that and it fails with error code 550 “Can’t change to home directory”. Could not connect to server.

We actually did not create uses in AD for this CIFS share. Do we need to do that and then try ftp? I only created the “ftp” user through the CLI on the control station.

if CIFS server is joined to AD and you did not enable Local users, you have to use AD account to ftp to the server.
