ProFTPD Configuration

[dstu69]

Hello,

I am trying to allow a certain FTP user to access ONLY a specific directory and to ONLY be able to "GET" files from it. He should NOT be able to list the directory, change it, delete or write anything.

I tried the following in the proftpd.conf file, but it doesn't work. I also tried many other options, but it either gives him too many permissions, or not enough.

<Directory /home/webadmin/abcdef.com/html/download/david>
<Limit WRITE LIST>
DenyUser david
</Limit>
</Directory>

I don't think that I can set it through the directory's permissions, because other users should be able to do anything.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

David

There is directive that can allow you to restrict what user can do.

LIMIT WRITE, READ, RETR

so you can limit WRITE
And allow RETR..

I'm using it so people can put file without being able to get all the other documents.

Hi,

I couldn't understand from bkk's message what's wrong with the example I posted and what exactly should be done.

Please help.

Thanks,

David
