proftpd newbie problem :oops:

[energyh]

Hey!

Im pretty new to linux but i decided to give it a try for my webbserver, i choose debian because of its easy package handling. Anyway i got my apache webserver, mysql, php and now proftpd installed.

To the problem, how do i choose wich rights a folder/user have?, ive created a user with homedir /server/webb/micke, for exampel how do i set only read rights?, read and write(upload) rights?.

Ive read about the chmod command but im not totaly clear on how it works.

Thanks for taking your time and helping a newbie /Mikael

which chmod
chmod in the system or in the proftpd?

chmod in the linux
r-read
w-write
x-run

owner group others
rwx rwx rwx
421 421 421

for using chmod you need define a bitmask , the bitmask contain 3 number
chmod bitmask file

exmples
owner read only bitmask : (4+0+0)(0+0+0)(0+0+0)
command : chmod 400 file

owner full access , grup read and run , others nothing , bitmask=(4+2+1=7)(4+0+1=5)(0+0+0)
command : chmod 750 file

for read acces on a directory you need have run permission too
example
for get read permission on a directory
chmod 500 directory
ls -l
dr-x------ blabla directory

d mark it's a directory

2.
in proftpd you can define the permissions in the right section of /etc/proftpd.conf

read the documentation and for some help here is my proftpd.conf
