What is the best way to have a webpage set up so that I can have a user ftp to their folder and then view it on the web.
Ex.
Jane ftps to www.domain.com/jane folder and cannot write to any parent folder.
Joe ftps to www.domain.com/joe folder and cannot write to any parent folder.
Have attempted i-bays, home dirs, and folders on primary. Cannot get a good solution. Someone please help with the best resolution to this.
Thanks,

Go to contribs.org and look in the Weblinks section. Do a search for "chroot". I think you'll find what you need.
Chroot'ing a user will allow you to specify an individual directory for access and prevent the user from moving UP in the directory structure.
Cheers,

Sorry for the ignorance here, but I am learning.
How do I get the rpm into the server to install it. I see the install command that I run from the root prompt, but how does it know where the rpm is?

OK I got the RPM installed and I specify my username and folder. It takes it I refresh my remote access policies.
Now I get an error that is acting as though the user doesn't have permision for that folder. This is probably true. What to do....
Thanks for the help. I am almost there.

Has anyone extended the user-accounts panel to do this, it would be a lot easier?
