This guide provides a step-by-step process to properly validate and configure file transfer permissions in VaultOne.
First step: checking transfer permission
Before initiating any file transfer, it is essential to validate whether the platform is configured to allow this type of operation for the asset in question. In the following example, we will use a server as a reference.
How to check if the transfer is enabled:
Access the Servers/Computers menu on the platform -> Select the server you want to configure -> Click on Actions and select Edit -> In the General tab, locate the options Disable file transfer and Disable clipboard -> Ensure both options are unchecked to allow the transfer.
Second step: file size validation
The platform has a size limitation for file transfers through the connector, allowing only files up to 100MB. If you need to transfer larger files, contact the support team to check the possibility of adjusting this limit.
Third step: reviewing user permissions
The platform follows all server permission rules, meaning that VaultOne does not perform privilege escalation. This means that even if the transfer is enabled, you must ensure that the user has permission to perform the operation within the server.
Tips for Checking Permissions in Linux:
Access the server via SSH.
Use the
ls -lcommand to check file/directory permissions.If necessary, adjust the permissions using the
chmodandchowncommands.Confirm that the user has write permission in the destination directory.
Following these best practices ensures that file transfers occur securely and efficiently. Always validate the platform settings, respect file size limits, and check user permissions to avoid issues during the process.
