9 Adding Local Users

Services such as SSH don't allow anonymous logins. Also, if you have configured FTP and CIFS to not allow anonymous logins, you must create local users now on the FreeNAS system that can log in to each service.

To create users, we must first create group to which we can add the users. Go to Access -> Users and Groups and then to the Groups tab and click on +:

Enter a name and description for the group and click on Add:

Then apply the changes:

Next go to the Users tab and click on +:

Fill in the host name, user name, and password, and make sure to select SCP:

After the successful login, you can see both NAS shares:
