    Default Drop OpenVPN user into Directory

    I've got my OpenVPN working just fine on my Untangle box, I've been using it from all over the place and pulling files as needed so it's really been a blessing but I have a question on if it's possible to do something.

    I want to be able to send someone an OpenVPN key to my network to either pick up or drop off files. What I need however is to be able to drop that user into one particular directory on a shared drive, I don't want someone to have full VPN access to my entire network, I just want them locked into 1 directory and if they have something for me or I have something for them that directory is the dropbox.

    I don't have any other servers like Active Directory or anything else, very small, simple and effective network here ... so is there a way that I can setup a user in OpenVPN and on every log on they land on say \\sharedrive_x\their_directory

    Any help always appreciated.

    hmmm one way you could do this is with a simple batch file.

    You would call OpenVPN GUI to connect, then have it it run NET USE and connect a specific drive letter to the users folder.

    I would work as long as DNS and everything was correct.
