ftp directory permissions - bernd1205 - 06-03-2009 07:49 PM
Hi @all,
i´m using ispcp for a while and i´m quite happy with it but i´ve currently run into a problem.
I need to write-protect some ftp directories for certain users, but i can´t get it working.
Here´s the scenario:
user1@domain.tld: main ftp-user, access to /ftp
user2@domain.tld: download ftp-user, access to /ftp/down
user2 should not be able to create/delete files under /ftp/down (which is his homedir)
user1 should be able to create/delete files.
As i´ve understood the setup of ispcp both users do connect to proftpd with the same virtual uid, therefore i can´t restrict access in the way mentioned above.
I´ve already played around using different uid/gid but when changed, proftpd responded with login incorrect.
Is there any workaround for that ? Any help appreciated.
cheers

Hm - so user2 should only be abler to read in /ftp/down ?
This could be solved with a restricted webpage.
Or what exactly is the idea for user2?

Yes - that´s the plan. User2 should only be allowed to read within /ftp/down.
The user is supposed to connect with a ftp-client like filezilla, possibly later on with a scripted solution.
I thought the protected webpages would only work within browsers ?

well - of course - protected webpages are accessed with a browser. But it's a good alternative if you need a read-only login...
can also be scripted...
Does user2 need read access to the whole ftp/down folder or only to some part of it?

access should be to the whole directory as user1 will upload regularly different project files.
RE: ftp directory permissions - joximu - 06-03-2009 09:02 PM
well then I only see the solution via browser...
or you might make some cron scripts which copy the content of /ftp/down to /ftp/down2 and set some flags for user2 can only read this...
