web ftp secure files
| Posted by mrblack18, 10-16-2012, 07:50 PM | | Hi.
How can I secure files of a user that then cant download, delete or edit some files in his folder, they can access to the folder with ftp programs.
It is Linux OS.

If you are using cPanel then you can create FTP accounts with certain directory access rights, so that when user login to FTP program he/she will be able to access only those folders assigned at the time of FTP creation.
You can also make directories password protected in cPanel, so website viewers can not directly download folder. Is this something are you looking to do?

Also, I don't remember exactly, however I believe you can configure VSFTPD to chown uploaded files and accomplish this that way.

The simplest way is to give only read permission to the user for his/her directories via SSH using chmod command, so that can not edit/delete anything.
