Hi, I've Googled half the day for a soultion to this, no joy. I'm CC'ing the author in case no one in the list knows the answer.
I don't want the user 'virtual' to be able to delete the files they upload. When 'virtual' uploads a file, it winds up belonging to: virtual wheel, and he can delete the file. He cannot delete files in any other directory. Virtual is *not* a member of the wheel group. How can I configure things so that 'virtual' can upload files, see them, but not delete them? Details: I'm using vsftpd-1.2.0 on FBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p10. I've created a symlink in /var called 'ftp' that points to /usr/ftp for disk space reasons. The directory structure in /usr/ftp is as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -l /usr/ftp total 12 drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 512 Sep 23 06:16 Applications drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2048 Sep 23 06:18 Bash Scripts drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 Sep 23 06:18 Tech Docs drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Oct 2 13:15 Uploads drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Sep 23 06:19 Utilities drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 512 Sep 23 06:21 eBooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep vsftpd ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/vsftpd vsftpd The only login I allow outsiders is: user: virtual.
