FMA archive configuration for an Linux FTP archive
For archiving data to a Linux-based FSE Archive, the VSFTPD needs to be set up on the FSE Archive.
The absolute path to the archive directory is composed of the FTP user’s home directory and the relative
path, which is configured in the FMA RSA-FTP configuration dialog.
The first part of the absolute path to the archive is specified during the creation of the FTP user on the Linux
system. The command
useradd -m -k /bin/false -d /fma/hmsfs1 -g fma -s /bin/false fma
defines the directory /fma/hsmfs1 as the home directory for the FTP user fma. The second part of the
absolute path to the archive directory is set up in the FMA RSA-FTP configuration dialog.
