File sharing for a scale-out file system using FTP

Veritas Access provides support for sharing files using the FTP protocol for a scale-out file system. A scale-out file system can scale linearly, thus providing an advantage over a standard clustered file system.

See About scale-out file systems

The following limitations apply when you share files using the FTP protocol for a scale-out file:

• Quota settings

  The FTP> homedir set command is usually used along with the Storage> quota functionality. Since the scale-out file system does not support quota, an FTP home directory which is based on a scale-out file system does not have quota functionality.

• FTP with LDAP as security is not supported.
