kewl, I downloaded pureftp which works pretty kewl. It indeed cages all users except for certain groups (i.e. my unix users group). Thanks for the help. I was even able to make upload directories and it also has NoWarez support.
Only problem is I do not know how to validate the files which are uploaded, so no one is able to download uploaded files yet. But I will try to find some documentation on that part. Thanks for the help. Wish I discovered this tool earlier. BTW is there a webmin module for pureftp. the gui tools do not seem to work with kde 3.x (needs it is complaining that it wants 2.x) Marc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Salane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2002 11:27 AM Subject: Re: [expert] Anonymous ftp server with restricted area how to handle this?? > do your self a favor check out pure-ftp.
