Hello, Have you looked at WS_FTP. (www.ipswitch.ca) It has the ability to use a ODBC database for the user accounts, etc. You could have the web page create the accounts in the database (Access DB or SQL) setting a creation time and /or a expire date then have a trigger go through and set the account as disabled in the flags.

Here's the scenario: Client has multiple customers (hundreds) and would like to have the ability for their customers to be able to upload/download files from their FTP server. They envision an internal employee (primary client contacts, non technical) going to an internal web server interface and keying in a username and password. They would like this to kick off a creation of a user on the FTP server with a home directory being created for the user will full rights to the directory. Furthermore they would like this account to be active for "X" days before expiring with the optional ability to delete the entire directory automatically. Anyone ever run across something like this? Platform is not important, can be a UNIX or NT based FTP server. This request has obvious security issues but if you knew the client you'd agree this is the least of their worries. Thanks in advance. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______ IMail Server has scanned this e-mail for viruses using Declude Virus from Optrics.com ___________________________________________________________________________________ IMail Server has scanned this e-mail for viruses using Declude Virus from Optrics.com
