How to grant write permission on running server not using gui?

[Bo Öberg <bo...@idainfront.se>]

Hi,
I want to be able to add user programatically and grant them write permission. How do I achieve this?
Found a WritePermission-class, but not sure how to use it!

I need this feature during enterprise testing.

Adding user using:
        FtpServerContext context = server.getServerContext();
        UserManager userManager = context.getUserManager();

        BaseUser userToAdd = new BaseUser();
        userToAdd.setName(name);
        userToAdd.setPassword(pass);

        userManager.save(userToAdd);

This works fine.

Also there is a need to set home directory later on...

Appreciate any hints!

I had to do something similar to this recently.  You add the write
permission as an Authority on the user.  The following code will add a user
(based on the code provided), with a specified home directory as well as
write permissions to that directory:

        FtpServerContext context = server.getServerContext();
        UserManager userManager = context.getUserManager();
        BaseUser userToAdd = new BaseUser();
        final String homeDir = "/DIRECTORY/TO/GRANT/";
        WritePermission wp = new WritePermission(homeDir);
        userToAdd.setAuthorities(new Authories[]{ wp });
        userToAdd.setHomeDirectory(homeDir);
        userToAdd.setName(name);
        userToAdd.setPassword(pass);
        userManager.save(userToAdd);

Hope this helps.
