Pureftp and changing permissions
How do I change permission for a whole group?
Hi everyone. I am using Pureftpd and I have come to the following question (which are not related to pureftpd). 1) How do you change permission for the whole group 2) I have created a new group vftp (for virtual ftp) and a user vftp. If I want to add more users (let say user1) in pureftpd via pure-pw useradd, will that add user1 into the group vftp or something else? 3) How do I change permission of a symbolic link: If I do not want a specific group to access it, what can I do? 4) How do you remove symbolic links safely? |

You can remove a symbolic link without removing the thing that it links to.
As for pure-ftpd, I have a little page on it, that might or might not be useful. http://www.scottro.net/qnd/qnd-pureftpd.html |

Ok that is quite detailed but not exactly what I am looking to do.
WHat I want to do is to set a specific directory so that the ftpusers using my ftp can only read but not write to one specific folder, let say data. I don't want them to go higher directories and want to jail them to whatever their home directories are located. Let say data is located under /usr/home and I want my ftp users to be able to go into their own directories AND /usr/home/data. I do not want them to access anything above Data. They can only read but not write and certainly not execute. I know this is very similar to the concept of jails but the internet has only referenced to ssh jails to me. Thx |

TO be more specific:
I want to perform the following properties for my FTP users: 1) Can't Create, Can't execute and only read. 2) If I add a person to this group, he/she will inherit the same properties as the group. 3) Make /usr/home/data visibile to these users, and they are only able to go to their default home directory (i think a symbolic link will solve that, but I don't want them to go to the symbolic link and do a #cd ..) thx |
