Web File Manager
This part of the administration tools for WebFM is the most basic part of running the system. You define the root directory of your repository, which is generally predefined for you upon purchase of our service, as well as many other things.
The default file permissions are just fine left completely alone if you only want file owners and admins to see them. If you want anonymous or authenticated users to see the files you need to set the permissions to allow for public access, and check the checkbox for the type of access you want to allow the user that are not admins or file owners.
In the sections to set different root directories, max file sizes, total upload amount per user and acceptable file types for each of three user types. Those three user types are anonymous visitor, authenticated visitor and WebFM admin visitor. By setting a root directory for each permission level you can control which files are available for which type of users. This can be very handy for membership based sites so you can have some files downloadable by the public and some only for logged in members, for example.
File sizes can also be limited by the host and the connection speed of the user, so if you set the file size really high and it does work for any specific user, you may be attempting to override your host, or, uploading files that are too big for your connection speed.
