Topic: FTP Privileges

[boris]

Hello, I'm am a new user.
My fundamental (!) question is :
Is it possible to modify the FTP access privileges :
to forbid people (only to authorize administrator) to delete files, only to authorize people  to read and copy files ?

Thank you for your help .

In the server manager, you can setup ibays on a group basis..

access server manager..
select "Information Bays"
select "modify" on the bay you want to change
set the User access to Write = Admin, Read = Group (or everyone)
Click save.

Is this what you mean? Or do you only want this limit on FTP access?

I am working on the same problem
I can not chage the permissions in my
cgi-bin in my main site on the SME box
to make a script run.....

I am using ws-ftp and ftp in and I get a
 550 whatever.cgi:Permission Denied
!Chmod Failed:It may not be supported on remote site.

What am I doing wrong ????

For some reason the FTP server is setup to not allow the use of the CHMOD command ...

To allow CHMOD, you will need to create a custom template ..

1. Access the command prompt ..
2. mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/proftpd.conf/ -p
3. cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/proftpd.conf/10LimitSiteChmod /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/proftpd.conf/10LimitSiteChmod
4. pico  /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/proftpd.conf/10LimitSiteChmod

inside pico, modify it to say:


  { # allow all chmod }
    AllowAll
 

5. Exit & save ..
6. /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/proftpd.conf

hope this helps

Thank you ! for this...
But not for all users ?

[Claymore]

"10LimitSiteChmod" is missing or doesn't exist in my conf !

What can I do ?

Thanks

I agree, it appears that the command is referencing something that we don't have. i.e. 10LimitSiteChmod

can anyone help us out with this command.

TIA
