NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection

NetLinx Security - Terminal
A single '/' is sufficient to grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's
sub-directory. The '*' wildcard can also be added to enable access to all files. All entries should
start with a '/'. Here are some examples of valid entries:
By default, all accounts that enable HTTP Access are given a '/*' Directory Association if no
other Directory Association has been assigned to the account.
When you are prompted to enter the path for a Directory Association, the NetLinx Master will
attempt to validate the path. If the directory or file is not valid (i.e. it does not exist at the time
you entered the path), the NetLinx Master will ask you whether you were intending to grant
access to a file or directory. From the answer, it will enter the appropriate Directory
Association. The NetLinx Master will not create the path if it is not valid. That must be done
via another means, most commonly by using an FTP client and connecting to the FTP server
on the NetLinx Master.
