select dataset for FTP?

[yesyes]

Hi.
I have a FreeNAS 11.3 running at home with a few datasets.
Now I want to enable FTP (local network only) to access one of the datasets via FTP. This dataset also has a SMB share.

I can't figure out how to select the dataset used for FTP. When I connect with an FTP client it always goes to the home folder of the user I log in with.

I found this article that refers to a slightly older version of FreeNAS (11.2 U7).

FreeNAS 11.2-U7 FTP Setup | Matrix 7

Today I'm going to show you how to setup an FTP server on FreeNAS so remote users can upload files to your FreeNAS storage device. Please note the FTP itself is not regarded as a secure method of handling file transfers, but if setup correctly and with well setup Firewall rules, it can be a very...

On their screenshots for configuring the FTP service (10th screenshot on that page) I see there is a way to select the dataset between "Allow Anonymous Login" and "Allow Local User Login". I don't see that option on my FreeNAS. Has this been removed? Or do I need to enable that somewhere?

The background is that I have an IP camera that can only upload video recordings via FTP. I want that camera to upload recordings to a folder in a dataset that I can then access via the SMB share.

You will probably need to look at this in the settings for the service:

It seems to be enabled by default, but that would seem to me to be what you're saying you don't want.

Thanks. This was my first thought as well. But even with "Always Chroot" disabled I only get to the home folder when connecting with a FTP client.

The issue is that I can't seem to find where to configure which dataset to use for FTP.
That setting has either disappeared or is disabled for some reason on my system.

I don't use FTP but poke around in server docs for it. http://www.proftpd.org/docs/

I would assume you set the folder you want to share by setting it in home directory for the user.

Would that not work?

That might work, but that is the folder for anonymous FTP. I would rather not enable anonymous FTP for security reasons.
I don't see where I can set the folder for local user FTP.
