So what you want is 5 users. Each user can upload their files to a particular directory, but they cannot affect any files but their own in that directory?

This is precisely what the sticky bit is for. As you (should) know, write permissions on a directory allow users to create and delete files inside that directory. The sticky bit on a directory means that only the file's owner, directory's owner, and the superuser can delete or rename files inside of that directory.

So basically, you want the permissions of the directory to be:

rwxrwxrwt # t = sticky bit
Owner: root

The permissions of the directory should be 1777:

chmod 1777 directory
