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.
