Server and user
"User settings" tab
In the User Manager, you can create a maximum of 10 users and assign corresponding rights. This includes authorizations for FTP and SSH access as well as the assignment of rights to allow other devices remote access to this device. It does not make sense to set up a standard user alone, as otherwise all websites will continue to be unprotected due to the open administrator access.
The users "ftp" and "root" are available by default and can be edited using the "pencil" button on the right.
- Username ftp This user can access all files on the device via the FTP protocol. Write user name "ftp" in lower case when logging in for the first time. The password is transmitted unencrypted.
- User name root Advanced users can access the Linux operating system console directly. When logging in for the first time, write the user name "root" in lower case.
These passwords should definitely be changed!
Additional users can be added using the "+" button (bottom right). Different rights are available depending on the user type "Interface" or "Remote control".
- User name Enter a user name here.
- Password You must enter a password here.
- Description Description is for information only.
- User type The user types "Surface" and "Remote control" are available.
