Help with permissions

Rustylinux · 02-16-2007, 08:31 AM

Hey,

Okay here is what I am trying to do. I have a folder /u02/test1/dump and I need to create a new user group which has full access to only the dump directory but nothing else. This user group will be used strickly for FTPing files back and forth from the folder. So the user group must be able to put and get from the folder via ftp.

So really I have to questions:

1.) How to create this new user group
2.) How to assign the permissions needed to it so they can only access the dump folder.

I need to know what ftpd you are running. If it is pure-ftpd or vsftp, then this could be *very* easy to accomplish.

I have experience doing things like this using virtual users and the chroot option on pure-ftpd; no /etc/passwd or group files were altered in the process.

you can do this by acl

see man acledit,aclget and aclput.
