I’m trying to set up a group so multiple users can share a folder. I created the group and a folder for it but I’m not what paths I should use for both. The result is that the user can see the group folder in the web UI but an error occurs after clicking on it:
“Failed to get directory listing: Unable to get directory contents"
Thanks
To set up the folder, which I called “shared”, I set the home directory for it to /srv/sftpgo/data/shared. For reference, my user home directory is /srv/sftpgo/data/user1. Then to allow user1 to access it, I mount it as a virtual folder. Is this what you did?
Not quite. I’m trying to setup a group to let all users access the same folder. I created a folder called Family (I think it set its path to /Family. I’m away from the pc so I’ll grab it later). Then I created a group called Family and mounted the folder in it. But I wasn’t sure what paths to use for the group.
Okay I think I might know what you mean? I just tried doing that and got it to work. We can compare what we did. Here’s mine.
I created a shared folder called “Shared”
then I create a group called “All” and mount the “Shared” folder to /shared
I went to a user and add them to group “All”
Examining that user’s files
I can navigate into that shared folder and access everything (I have stuff in there already).

I totally misread this as SMTP2Go and then was very confused by the body of your post 😅

Haha! When I first learned about SFTPGo it took me a while to not include a “2”!
